I continue to improve my efficiency around the grade of v9. It’s fun to be able to climb at this level on any way, shape, or form. But a little discouraging how much expoentially harder subsequent grades are feeling as of late. Here are some photos of a day of climbing that has inspired to me to change that tune.
Waltzing up Punani sit
Then having a heart attack on The Mangler
And feeling the wrath
After thinking about this discrepency in my climbing, I took a closer look at the projects I have hanging over my colorado climbing, and have decided to post them here to hold myself accountable for their completion in 2010.
- No More Greener Grass (~15 days of effort to date)
- Meatrope (~10 days of effort to date)
- Right Angry Man (~6 days of effort to date)
- Stinkbug (~5 days of effort to date)
- Bambi (~5 days of effort to date)
- Mind Matters (~5 days of effort to date)
- Black Ice (~4 days of effort to date)
- The Mangler (1 day of effort to date)
This list, now including The Mangler, represents problems that have evading me for far too long. I plan to focus on the reasons they are hard for me and tackle them one by one in the coming year. Stay tuned…

Awesome – When I do send all, I’m going to retire my pink shirt, and go orange for life. Would you join me on the orange team if i complete my mission?

consider yourself held accountable, at least by me, from here on out. we’ll have to work out a reward system for motivation. i really hope you’re not serious about the pink tee. i love that thing.
