climbing this weekend

Post by **Andrew** » Thu Mar 27, 2003 4:44 am

I guess this goes in the sport climbing forum, because I am going sport climbing, but anyway. I am going climbing this saturday rain or shine. Hopefully shine, and I garuantee I will send one of my projects. Just wanted to say that becuase I am trying to get ready for the big send, and get my confidence up.

I thought him say something to the order of sending Johnny's tight finger crack but then again Verbal is tall as a redwood & it's heard to hear him down here close to terra firma!

PM me for the supersecret beta on the crux section.

well so far I have made it to the first bolt, but it spins. I can't seem to clip it becuase I am flailing so bad, and it won't stay still. So after it takes me five minutes to clip it, I get too pumped to get to the second bolt. I do hang on the first bolt alot and stare at the top. I think I got it figured out, but some beta would help. If I can see the anchors from the first bolt does that count as some sort of redpoint.

Verbal, just hang out there at the base for awhile, I bet someone will come along sooner or later.
Ask them to clip that terribly scary first bolt for you, maybe you could trade them a cliff bar for the favor.
Then climb really fast to the rest of the clips and before you know it you will have sent the scary bastard.
Just don't tell anyone that somebody else clipped the first bolt. It's none of their business anyhow.
Congatulations, I know you can do it
