My problem isn't that move, it's the 5.8 move before the anchors when my arms are totally flamed. If only I could hold on longer or be more efficient...

What about me W3s?! I'm climbing V9 and can do The Pearl in flip flops with snow on the ground, do you think I should get on a 5.5 sport or do you think I'm ready for Eureeka?

Hell yeah! WOD stays sunny, too, doesn't it? Perfect.

No roof stays sunny. It stays cold, wet, and miserable. Thats the crux.

Don't piss in my Cheerios, Kris.

don't fret. Its just target practice.

I just want to climb enough to get a more relaxed mind and to learn how to read new-to-me routes better. Also, I hope to get more comfortable with big whippers.

speaking of which, another goal is to get paranoid people like Meadows to trust me to give them nice soft catches...so i don't break anyone.

to answer the question asked before, i broke my knee when a foot chip blew before i clipped my first bolt on a runout sport route at Red Rocks. I fell about 25 feet and had a "medial tibial plateau" fracture. basically i broke off the lower inner nob on the knee.

i guess that leads to another accomplishment from last year, being published in a major climbing magazine (Rock and Ice). but it was for something that was not at all impressive and made me look like a complete idiot. if you feel so compelled check out the accident report in the June '04 R&I
