who pooped in the park, I whipped all over that thing.

5.9+ cracks occasionally have a habit of shutting me down. The Beeneling and Rock Rash have both thoroughly put me in my place...

Incidentally, does the approach to Dunkan Rock count? It's shut me down repeatedly as well...

there are a few approaches out there that I still don't have the red point on.

I have been shut down all over the place. As for approaches, I was lost and bushwhacking on my 2nd and 3rd attempt at Wall of Denial. As for actual climbing I recently gave several attempts at Creeping Elegance (5.11a) at the practice wall. I thought I had it all worked out and still pitched after the last bolt. I have a project at the damn practice wall!

keep practicing!

after I turned 35 - its been a slow five year decent back into gumbiness ever since.

rhunt, does that happen to everyone? I turn 35 in January.

Of course, I guess you have to move out of gumbiness to be able to decend back in.

Not everyone...the genetic freaks get an extra 10 years. And yeah what goes up must come down.

i took a big whip off of Dragonslayer right at the chains at the end of the day, i seemed so confident.

The Seal at Looking Glass, I aided the low crux, and wouldn't come out of the pod to try the high crux for a good 20 minutes, kept laying back trying to commit to the undercling, and every time ended up stepping back into the safety of the pod. i felt like a total chump.
