Feeling the Psyche


Went up to Echo Valley on Saturday to join the Rock n Road bouldering day. I managed to work some awesome lines, and basically only touched problems that I hadn't ever tried before. I tried Marijus's Heart Feels No Bass (7C) with not much luck, but a sweet line with some fun climbing. Then I was in my element as we had some go's on a two move project with a horrifically small crimp. It was close to going, but the last move is a bit of a dyno to a finishing sloper, off the micro crimp, but hopefully it'll go next time. After chilling for a while as the RnR climbers started heading down, we went to a rather large boulder just off the path to find an amazing, possibly 8Aish line with some ridiculously awesome climbing. I counted a total of 4 heel toe locks; I was loving it. On a fresh day perhaps we'll be able to put in some solid effort on it.

Last Sunday we headed up to the Cinema in an effort to open some new lines for the RnR bouldering day, which didn't end up happening there. Nevertheless it was a rad day of climbing. We opened various cool lines, and managed to get some time in on the awesome Cloverfield project. It's big and burly all the way, and gonna take quite some effort, but wow, its gonna be so awesome. So for now its back to work and training during the week, until next weekend...
