13 January
I totally did my project today – I was really psyched its not like hard or anything, I mean – it was hard for me – it was my hardest (number) grade I sent – not counting the NRG nor Coopers Rock (what the grades should be.)
It was rad – I totally beat it into submission though – and managed to do it first go today. It’s really sharp – especially the start. Two days ago – I tried it from the start twice – fell at the crux twice – then pulled on from just before the crux and did it twice from there. My fingers definitely remembered the pain of the holds – the way the problem is situated, you can pretty much feel the entire problem – even though its about 35 feet – there’s a bouder behind it that follows it up – this is great – because its totally safe – you can fall ANYWHERE – you just land on the pad and surf it down...well I mean – if you blow the 5.9 topout you’re dead – but whatever right? No spot required. Thanks to Aaron Kupferer for not spotting me and taking photos – I didn’t even know he was shooting them =).
I didn’t realize how much I beat myself today – I mean – I knew that I beat myself – but I didn’t think it was this bad…I was sitting here typing, reading, watching a bouldering video – and then the next thing I new, I was curled up under my sleeping bag and then the next thing I know – I woke up and I was watching another bouldering video – it was no longer 6pm but 7:30…woah…
I’m still under my sleeping bag – I’m warm and comfy and soar – my shoulders really hurt – my feet hurt…my well…shoulders really hurt and so do my triceps. I wonder what the heck that was from – its not like I did THAT much today – well ok maybe I did. Heading into town to the coffee shops tomorrow….its 7:42pm – and I’m tired – I could go to bed right now – I may very well….and I feel like I could sleep all the way through the night – that’s yet to be proven, but I think I’ll give it a try really soon.
Update - made it til 6:48 am - then drove into town to the coffee shop...
