October

This month has been decent so far. Started off pretty strong October 2nd by flashing moss roof, followed by sending the girl at mars. Finishing it off was almost more relieving than rewarding. I’m hoping that outcome will be different on the seedling considering I’m closing in on 1 year of projecting it.

Tensions are high on that climb. With every session I get closer to wrapping it up. Made it all the way out to the victory jug last session but lost the left hand, causing me to cut feet and blow it.

First sight of this roof I refused to climb on it. Richard, Anthony, and I had just fished up at the reservoir roof. Richard had just sent harpoon hands and was looking I guess for a new project. My hands were pretty cooked from climbing all day and I was just along for the ride at that point. We hiked down to the roof where he insisted on me bringing my shoes. We ended up pulling on till nightfall. The psyche was high and seeing the opening drop knee move to a 2 finger pocket gaston had me intrigued.

                                          

Now here we are a year later. Consistently making it out to the last large huck from the right hand 2 finger stack pocket. It’s now just about holding on and fighting out the 2nd crux at the end with a high left hand foot match. At this roof, you realistically only have 3 good attempts. Anything past that results in fatigue, skin loss, and injury. (Currently where I’m sitting) I have a gut feeling it will go soon once my arm is healed. But for now one can only hope…

I’ll spend my time hiking out a few more canyons that haven’t been explored, hoping to find something untouched.
