I am a cheater

Post by JB »

I am a no good, lousy cheater.

I set a problem on the wall. The movement is fun and hard. I figured it'd go at V4 or V5. I can't do the last move. I fall often on the moves getting to it. Those are probably V4 moves too. To finish, I have to swing over from two slopers onto a left foot, match on one of the slopers and then stand up on the foot reaching up and left for a jug a long way away. the sloper turns into a mantle, and I fall just short. to brace myself i stick a finger in a tnut hole, then gun for the jug. i can't do it.

and so i justify adding a hold. to make myself feel better i pick out the smallest little nothing that i can find, but it makes the problem go with little of the effort i'd been exerting to make it go without the hold.

I succeed, it's still V4, but no amount of justification will make me feel better about adding that hold. It's coming off tonight. I am a no good cheater.

Yeah, your job really sucks. I've been reviewing consolidated financial statements for the past hour.

Working with old people who spit a lot here! Poor you!
What I love about running is you can meditate while running. It's a peaceful place.

I took eight air national guard guys climbing today and will take them again tomorrow and make about...well, you don't really want to know.

Thanks again climbhigh, for letting me have the day(s) off. You're the best boss a boy could have. Even if you are pansy.

Dude, take the hold off, call it V6... send it in front of a large crowd then tell them its only V5. That will make you feel a ton better.
