My First Bouldering Send
My friend and I had just finished climbing Stichter Quits, and were scouting the rocks west of Echo Rock. We came across a group of boulderers and started talking, then went to the rock next door(pictured), which had a nice crack running the entire distance. My friend sent it first try, but me....I chickened out after the first move. Afraid to fall...... Then the other group walked by and we invited them to try it. After they all sent, or made their efforts, I realized I had better make a better attempt. I fell from way up, one move from topping out, and was surprised that the landing was so soft. I tried again, and with commitment, I sent the thing! Phot by Curt Johnson
