At this point in my climbing I know there will always be grades that are easy for me and always be grades that are out of my reach. Depending on the life factors (injuries/fitness/headgame) they could very well be the same grades month to month.

All I can say is the biggest dream I have related to climbing is I hope to be psyched. If I am out of shape, and running laps on a 10 touches me in my special place, or if I am pretty strong and a lifetime project goes down then I am psyched. Either of these situations makes me feel like a special little snowflake so I want to get up tomorrow and climb again.

That's really all I want out of climbing, to be psyched to climb. Well that and the chics.

and if you do 14 or hell 13b for that matter, all the to-dumb-to-know-any-better- but-knowing-just-enough-to-think-that-one-number-is-better-than-the-other-for measuring-penis-length-of-a-man type of girls will be all over you.

I'd like to strive to have more marathon sending days like my good friend Kipp had recently:

Climbs seem to get significantly less fun and more painful after 5.13. i always thought 13a was the ideal grade.
