Thanks, John. That's good advice.
I did decide today that the holds are probably feeling a bit shitty due to the temps so I'm hanging it up until Fall. As of last weekend I think I've got the perfect beta for myself so I think the cooler temps will allow for a send.
Burnt Out
I tried my project for the second time today.Before the first crux my heart was pounding from the adrenalin. I just knew I wasnt going to get it it if I didnt calm down.I messed up the second crux.I think I set myself up for failure in spite of a good effort.

99 out of 100 times you fall off a route at your limit for mental reasons not physical. Most people have the physical capability to climb harder than they are they just can't keep "cool" and relaxed while on the route. This elevates blood preasure making it harder to recover and your over grip thus working you faster and all of a sudden you are falling. Learnign how to relax ona climb is the key. Of course it is easier said than done. I have no tips onhow to accomplish this as everyone is different. You just have to know your body and put in the time to learn.
Lest we all forget... climbing is a mostly meaningless pursuit that we do for fun.
Ray did you lose a limb or did Creature Feature get hit by Hurricane Dennis and lose most or all of its holds?
BTW I fucking HATE hurricanes. Mississippi sucks, and so do all you MFers who get to climb anytime you want!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
At this point I would be esctatic to be able to climb Creature Feature or any route. My woody just doesn't do it for me these days . . . .
