GREAT DAY!!!!!!

Man - what a day!!!! I was sooooooo incredibly psyched and felt GREAT!

I managed to send and run laps on what were my projects last week!!!!! Man - the running and rest paid off!!

It was a little warm again today - though still it felt quite good.



After warming up:

Which Road (VB)
Heavenly Path (V1)*****

I went over to my project -



Solarium (V3) - Lots of holds - most of them bad - this classic climbs a very gently overhaning face. Once you figure out the sequence - a couple moves to a good pinch pocket and a low jug pocket, you backstep and make a right hand move to the top - to a sloper - then bump the right again to a "jug" I did 3 laps on this problem (before I couldn't do it)

I also did the problem next to it - a nice and classic

Western Round Up (V1) - which was a repeat for me

Then we went to the Savannah Boulder

Keton Classic (V4) - i had done this one before - it took me a few goes, but i did it (the same wild jump - way I did it last time)

I worked a not-so-classic next to it

xxBeat It (V3) - very awkward - a sit start on a good crimp, bomb out left to a right facing sidepull - really tenuous i gave up...

I did another "project" of mine:

Kling and Smirk (V2) - very awkard climb up this arete feature...I got some idea beta from "Guy" - a climber I met here and did it first go - it actually felt V2

I did a couple moderates -

Duck Soup (V0-)
Margo's Arete (Vb)

Then I went to another project of mine:

Suck Punch (V4) - this one was like IMPOSSIBLE for me last week - but I did it first GO! You start on a jug - power up and left to a bad crimp rail - heel hook and "throw" for the top...well I did it completely static - I was really stoked!

I tried

XX Easy Rider (V5) - couldn't do the sit-start - though with some work - I can do this one - I'll probably project it - though its not all THAT good.

then we went to my uber-project:

Serengetti (V5) - woah baby - what a good problem!!! I ended up doing 5 laps on it - with two distinct betas - woah - this is GREAT....super uber classic....wow.... =)

I did some more moderates

I Killed a Man (V1) - scary!!
Sentimental African (V0-) - SHARP

I tried

XXBleached Bones (V4) which I had done before - but I was starting to feel beat....

I did

Cirlce of Life (V0) -

then fell off

XXCilley Mantel (V0)

and then got my butt kicked on

XXGiggles (V2) - which will be my PROJECT - no its cool - I'll talk about this one when I send it....
