I looked at a couple of v6 & v7s but didn’t understand them. The body rarely goes where the mind isn’t ready.
The Ripper of the Day Award goes to who ever ticked this hold.Do you really need a tick mark for each finger?
For $17 a night, you get a view of a wall. However, there is a pigeon that lives outside my window.Notes: I went to Red Springs today, a small area about 1 mile from Kraft Boulders. Since it away from the main area, the ambience is more peaceful, but the rock is looser. I meet a rad local climber, Brandon. This is his first year of climbing. I showed him how to crimp. He immediately climbed a grade harder. Red Rocks is all about crimping. That is why it is one of my favorite areas. Thanks to his support, spotting, and extra pad I was able to flash of The Prayer, V6. Hell Yeah! One step closer to my 2009 goal of flashing V7. I’m done “practicing.” Bring on the sport climbing.
