couple days at the lode....

I swear I'm the worst (male) climber at the lode - its humbling...basically people warm up on my project.

I don't care though - For me - success is determined by me trying as hard as i can on a route...

Sending a route is nice - which means I can move onto another route - and continue trying hard...but its not the motivation. If I never do Harvest - that's OK.

I'm happy with my progress on it - and its rad! I made it through the crux today on point.

The start is a hard boulder problem, the it eases off a bit - just techy balance stuff...with some cool rests.

Supposedly, the crux is a transition sequence from the one rib, to another, but that move - on my little check list of moves that I can piss on - it has a checkmark...

Ok maybe not...but still...

Its the move after that - which as been giving me trouble - its definitely a hard thrutch move for me...but I think I got that one doable...its hard - its where i fell...after that move is a really really good handle bar rest - which has been wet...

Then its a serious of hard boulder problems with OK rests to the anchors - the move TO the anchors is pretty hard - small edges (for he lode) - powerful....I bet I blow it there...
