THE SADS

OMG I had such a good day today!!!!!

I started the day with an Ibuprofen which probably helped…

I WAS TRYING REALLY HARD TODAY

The Sads is a bouldering area on the Volcanic Table Lands – its right down the street from the Happys and is less concentrated and smaller, but WOW – the problems are RAD!!!!

I totally BEAT THE SNOT out of myself today – I wasn’t really taking rest between burns, just trying AS HARD AS I COULD. And that was all there was to it.

I put in about 50 goes on “Molly” – then left…found my buddy Eric and then went back and did it first GO!!! I was sooooo pysched!!!

Molly (V5) – sit start on good pockets – a couple more pockets moves then you power to this really crappy crimper..now most people move up to this vertical flat sidepull feature, however, I was jut high stepping – and going all the way to this “intermediate” which was actually pretty darn good – then stick the top…jug! Wow – what a proud line =).

Then….Eric showed me

Cow Skull (V5) – this line is AMAZING. You start on a jug – then traverse left – match a decent crimper – drop down to this sloper with your left – and do a HUGE right power reach through move – then JUG – and its done…

I beat the heck out of myself – just murdered myself on it – my fingers are gushing blood – I didn’t really take a break and tried it maybe 30 times – mostly working the last move – it was a new move for me – I had never done one like it….but finally – I started sticking it – then I worked the start – I have it dialed – I just need to go back and do it fresh!

I warmed up on

World Shut Your Mouth (V2)

And while I was running around crazed by Molly, I did

China Doll (V0)

What a rad day!
