It was one of those lifetime goals - and it went down!

5 January

I had such a GREAT day today – I finally sent one of my projects! When I came here – I didn’t think that I really had a style – but I guess I do – crimpers. It was great – I had grown up hoping to some day do this problem – and when I was at the top of it (its really high) – I felt like I was in a dream – it was sooooo rad! I think its probably one of the best sends of my life – (its not THAT hard – but still – it really meant a lot to me)

My fingers are killing me – I put two burns on my next project – a LONG crimpy problem – totally just MISSED the crimper for the crux – I think that I’m going to get on it fresh in two days and see if I can do it – I really only get like 2 goes a day on it – its THAT sharp….Heading into town tomorrow to spend the day working – I’m just about done with Laura’s wedding – just need to make a final pass…

I’ve been reading Ayn Rand’s – the Fountainhead as suggested by Roger Marlow – it’s a good book for sure – pretty cool – and then I’m going to read “Eat To Live” next.

I’m feeling so good!

6 January

It was a windy night last night – sorta annoying – I had the good sense to bring my headphones though – to drown out the wind and try to sleep – I went to bed like super early (715) – though only was up for one big stretch during the night…then slept in til first light…I’m in town today – tying up some loose ends.

Tomorrow I’m back on North Mountain – gonna try and send another one of my projects – a sharp 35 foot crimp fest – I tried it twice yesterday – though my crimpers were already hurting – I really need to be fresh for it – I got all the way to the crux – and just missed the good hold and fell off! It’s a hard move for me – its really really crimpy – and the last move is sort of a body tension move – body tension which you’ve already wasted getting there – Its really my style though – I think it’ll go hopefully soon.

I’m feeling really close on another project of mine – a roof – I can do all the moves now – except the one consistently and I almost stuck that one move twice yesterday - =) I love my life.
