I’ve had some really good climbing days lately. Climbing alone in LCC has its
benefits. With the extra time I
have had, instead of traveling from area to area, I have been videoing a lot of
the climbs I have been getting on.
I edited a video to share, but it turns out Vimeo only allows 500 MB a
week and the video is 1.5 G.
Unless I find a way to share the video without paying $60 to subscribe
to Vimeo I might just share little bits of climbing.
Anyway, I have been here in Salt Lake City a week longer than
expected. I have been hoping for
some breakthrough on Dominatrix, but it hasn’t come. I have done a lot of reflecting and when I was here last the
weather was much colder, about 20 degrees lower. I have decided that I am wasting energy throwing myself at
this climb. My left hand has
bruised fingertips and it’s a reminder that no matter how hard I grab the hold
I will pop off. I need colder temps and a new psyche.
After deciding that I was going to walk away from Dominatrix
for now I focused my energy on getting on some new climbs around town. I have had a blast working my way
around the canyon. Caleb suggested
a few classics for me to get on and in the process I added a few that I really
enjoyed to climb as well.
Yesterday, in particular, was a really good climbing day. I went to the Hidden Forest and climbed
a few of it’s best! I flashed a V7
mantle called Whiskey and if it was in Horse Pens it would probably only be V5,
Ha! In the same area I climb
Gerbils and Duct Tape, which at one time were both V9 and Duct Taped was
supposedly closer to a 10. I’m not
sure what they are now, but I thought Gerbils was more difficult out of the
two, and that Duct Tape was an easy, one move, V8. Both V8s sounds good to me. With only an hour of daylight left I drove up canyon to
White Pine and got on Citizen Dildo V9, which, if compared to Euro, would only
be a V7. I dispatch CD in only 3
tries and repeated it twice for video.

I apologize this post is very to the point, but I have a few
things to do before I leave for Colorado tomorrow, the biggest thing being
rotating my tires.
