Sent my project which wasn't supposed to be a project today (Easy Rider). It felt not so bad. I had plenty of gas for the last move to the chains and used some new beta that allowed me to do it static instead of dynamic. Since I started beta testing it a few weeks ago I can assure you that the small crimps and edges of small pockets that feel like they might break never did break on me. I didn't really feel too celebratory because I felt like I should've done it quicker for some reason.
I'm ready to get back on track to White Man's Overbite when the crowds die down and this crap sun and heat goes away.

Was definitely a tad too warm today after the noon hour. I was glad my project never sees the sun.
Wanted to give a shout out to Pigsteak who is inching ever closer to closing on his project. A strong one-hang effort, and nary a grunt out of him!

nice SCIN.....see what bella notte food will do for you..
I am entering that zone Ray speaks of. the moves are dialed, and each burn from here is with the expectation of sending...you stay in this zone for too long, and impatience and frustration become mental blocks...
post up folks if ya got other exciting sends (or near sends) from this incredible beautiful but way too hot day.

Crapped and hung my way up just about every 10 at torrent yesterday. Felt pumped and no confidence at all. Awesome weather and great company though.
Four slices of pizza, five beers, and 9 hours of 31-degree-weather-sleep later:
Got my 11a today (jungle trundler), and got the the 10d/11a on the lower wall of bruisebrothers first go. The hardest part was sneaking my way in between groups of 6 on those climbs.
Then I went over to Sunnyside and got my ass kicked by my own brain on the last move of Machete. Third time that's happened to me. Not a bad day overall.

That one day at RockQuest must have done the trick! Andrew crushed Snooker today in the heat!
