Projects

So...the Projects are pretty sweet. The only thing I've been on is a V3 but it felt like I was standing on shelves. They pull like crazy. So smooth.

Comps are time consuming.

Participating in comps can consume your climbing time so fast. It seems like every week im training or resting. Couple that with the fact that I work most weekends, I don't get to do a lot of outdoor climbing. My 8a hasn't even had a new addition this year except a v3/4. Pretty sad. Luckily though I did get to got out to Reimers Ranch last weekend. I finally got on Block Party, a 5.13 out there. No lie, I got owned. Leading still scares me. I overgripped and got pumped out really fast. I did get to flash a 12 though. That was fun. Then I did a single solitary boulder problem. It was really clean though. Here's a pic. It was lots of fun but I left a right Anasazi there. Good thing I have another pair.

So last weekend was the A&M comp. I got first in collegiate. I got on the hardest route and fell at the last stinkin' move. Needless to say I was sad. I am just more pumped to get going on training for teh next comps. I feel so mch stronger now. There wasn't a single move I had trouble pulling. So now all I have to do is build up my endurance. Super psyched.
