SUCCESS!

    TODAY I FINALLY CLIMBED MY PROJECT! IT SEEMS AS THOUGH ITS HAS BEEN ALONG TIME COMING, BUT DESPITE THAT FEELING IT HAS REALLY ONLY BEEN ABOUT THREE WEEKS. AS FOR THE RATING, I DON'T SEEM TO CARE MUCH FOR THE RATING SYSTEM. I FEEL LIKE IT IS A HIGHLY SUBJECTIVE SYSTEM IN ORDER TO JUDGE YOUR CLIMBING ABILITY. SO THAT SAID, IT TURNS OUT (THROUGH A SERIES OF QUESTIONS) THAT MY PROJECT WAS A SOLID V6. I DID NOT CHOOSE THIS ROUTE BASED UPON THE RATING OR THE RATING OF MY PREVIOUS CLIMBS, I CHOSE THIS LINE BECAUSE IT WAS THE MOST ASCETICALLY BEAUTIFUL LINE THAT I SAW. IT STARTS ON THE LOWEST EDGE OF A SEAM, THEN MOVES OUT ONTO A SLOPER WITH THE LEFT HAND AS YOU HEEL HOOK THE RIGHT FOOT. THE RIGHT HAND MOVES TO A SMALL THREE FINGER LEDGE AS I MOVE MY FOOT TO A TOE HOOK REALLY SHALLOW IN THE SEAM. THEN ITS MY RIGHT HAND TO A CROSS OVER AND GRABING A STEEP SLOPER THE ANOTHER INTERMEDIATE SLOPE TO A SUPER POSITIVE EDGE. FROM THERE ITS JUST WORKING YOUR WAY HAND OVER HAND HEEL HOOK AFTER HEEL HOOK UP THE SEAM TO THE TOP OUT. ALL IN ALL IM VERY EXCITED TO HAVE CLIMBED IT, THEN TO TOP IT OFF I CLIMBED IT AGAIN RIGHT THERE ON THE SPOT!   THIS ONE IS NOW DONE. I LOVE IT THOUGH AND I WILL CLIMB IT AGAIN.   ON TO MY NEXT PROJECT!! A SUPER SLOPEY LINE UP AN ARETE. ITS QUITE PRETTY.
