I'd make them pay in cash. Or Gold.

Or Gold.
ah yes, well, the brasilians are incredibly strong negotiators, so I'd imagine they've got this taken care of already.

Knocking off work at 3 PM to hit the crags.
Partly cloudy with a nice little breeze today. We will probably repeat our FA from the last trip as a warm up to clean it up a bit and get some pics.

As someone relatively new to the redpointing game, I find myself somewhat confused/frustrated by the fact that one burn can result in complete failure and the next can almost feel easy. Like it should not have required projecting in the first place.
WTF?

Time to iron the sports bra so I look good for the camera! Dark clouds made it too dark for pics, so we just climbed. Warmed up on a 2 pitch 5.9, then rapped over a new line that goes through a 4' roof that we thought would go at hard 5.10. Scrubbing of lichen revealed a huge series of jugs in all the right places. It started to sprinkle as we were finishing the quick cleaning on rap, but it was so easy that I lead the FA at only 5.6.  The second pitch went at 5.4. Unpredictably, this is probably the best protected and highest quality beginner climb on the whole cliff, and the 45th to be climbed. We named it "Coyote Rain" for the howling of coyotes and the light drizzle on the first ascent. The rap off was done in a steady downpour, as was the 25 minute walk out. Looks like rain right through the weekend. raining here today...yay! I'm suspicious that said sports bra doesn't exist. a 5.6 with a 4-foot roof...something tells me you were climbing several hours south of NH. sounds pretty sweet, to be honest, despite your frowny face. It did climb like a Gunks route. It really is a sweet line, but I was hoping to pad my ticklist with difficulty! Number chasing+++FTW I get the feeling that's always the case: that you see what you really want to be a 5.10 because it looks totally doable, but then you climb it and realize just why it really is as doable as it looks. still, it's interesting to hear you say that. do you feel that you're brimming with so much confidence these days that you're just throwing yourself at whatever presents itself...and you're confident you can handle anything? I have been pushing myself by jumping on most anything, although I have not attempted too many 11's this year; the one's I have done I have sent, so I really should crank it up a notch. I have been particularly interested in new routing and onsighting 10s. The local routes seem to be pretty heady, so I have really pushed the mental side of things and am slowly working my way up the difficulty scale as I knock off everything else. Last night was the first time climbing for me in two weeks, and after the first 20 feet or so I found myself right back in the zone psychologically and feeling stronger than the last time out. Gear systems are dialed, problem solving is sharp, and I am enjoying every minute outside. I'm in a really good place right now.
Crushin!
I seriously am coming up there this fall. Got like 2+ weeks of vacation banked. Just waiting for reliable temps. Early September??
