try hard.

don't forget to breathe

focus and relax

move quickly through the steep sections

rest whenever possible

don't backclip

look ahead for clipping positions

don't z-clip

focus on the climb not on the outcome

spray hard at migeuls

More words to live by:

Find project.

Get beta for project.

Climb project.

Make sure biner gates actually close when you clip them.

Clip the chains.

Find next project.

Sorry Merrick, I couldn't resist. :D

Holy shit, Maypop lives!

I HATE that damned route. That route was/is my nemisis.

It SUCKS.

But anyway, "Defy" most definitly, without a doubt deserves as many stars as the guide book allows.

It's a sweet route. The perfect 10a.

After following Wes's instructions... rest for 45 minutes and send climb second go....that's usually how its done :D

Thanks for the stuck biener reminder Matt! I was trying to block that out of my memory. :lol:
