try hard.
don't forget to breathe
focus and relax
move quickly through the steep sections
rest whenever possible
don't backclip
look ahead for clipping positions
don't z-clip
focus on the climb not on the outcome
spray hard at migeuls

More words to live by:
Find project.
Get beta for project.
Climb project.
Make sure biner gates actually close when you clip them.
Clip the chains.
Find next project.
Sorry Merrick, I couldn't resist.

Holy shit, Maypop lives!
I HATE that damned route. That route was/is my nemisis.
It SUCKS.
But anyway, "Defy" most definitly, without a doubt deserves as many stars as the guide book allows.
It's a sweet route. The perfect 10a.
Bye

After following Wes's instructions... rest for 45 minutes and send climb second go....that's usually how its done
Thanks for the stuck biener reminder Matt! I was trying to block that out of my memory.
