Earn Your Stripes (V11) ?? Second Ascent of @_keenan_t’s gorgeous line. Story Time!
.
I scoped the upper sequence on a rope only a couple times before trying from the ground. The bottom moves went first go, faster than I thought, and I suddenly found myself in the middle of the face. Jump down, or keep going? I knew I had the physical capability so I opted to climb on. Mentally, though, I was not all there.
.
In the upper thin-crimps section, I braced against repeated gusts of wind ?My fingers numbed out. I wasn’t ‘in the zone’. As I placed my fingers on the back of my neck, attempting to warm them, the elbow of my other arm chicken-winged: an ominous sign of pump. I felt a small bubble of anxiety rise in my chest, but I also knew my options. Keep crimping, keep climbing. ??
.
I topped out with a big sigh of relief and proceeded to experience the WORST case of screaming barfies from over-crimping in the cold wind ? I couldn’t take off my shoes for a solid 10 minutes. I was relieved, but critical of myself for not feeling 110% prepared.
.
I never once felt that I had crossed my ‘danger threshold’ or been out of my abilities. However, I haven’t been this ‘out’ of the zone in awhile. By focusing too much on the send, I rushed the process. It was a very good reminder for future endeavors.
.
Be not a conqueror of the climb, but a living, breathing addition to the landscape. Exist within the natural canvas and appreciate the present moment. For me, that is the feeling of true success✨
