Foot-in-mouth

I met up with Scott (Heather’s boyfriend) and his friend James at Earth Treks last night to give them a couple belays and encourage them to climb since it was their first time in years, so obviously I had to try working on the 5.11 project I mentioned in my last post. Of course, on my first go I sent it. I felt so strong that after they were worn out on the ropes we went over and bouldered a bit, where I ended up seeing this tricky new v6 with a very hidden mantle start (that I didn’t see, some dude had to show me). After being shown the start, I climbed the thing clean until the very last move, which was a bump onto a tiny tiny hold where you then had to go all the way to the top of the wall. I fell right at the top on my flash attempt! Still, considering I was to my limit, I can’t complain about a near-flash. Next try I cleaned that right up. A 5.11 and a v6 right after complaining how I’ve hit a wall. Writing must be a motivator or something!
