I dedicated every Fall and Spring season to sieging Hypno, abandoning any other climbing goals in hope that I could rise above and conquer this sequence, yet amidst unpredictable sub-alpine conditions, it wasn’t so simple. Most of my friends abandoned my effort, and I started regularly climbing alone on the boulder. Struggling to see my errors by myself, it became a new type of challenge. The pattern of shoveling the boulder out between weekly storms and the long solo drives started to become synonymous with the idea of making attempts 😵 Until this October. First day went really well, I realized my new @fiveten_official Dragons were game changing on both crux moves allowing me to get the crack pocket correctly from the start, and give me a fair sticking the high left pinch from the ground. Day 2 I came super close to sticking the pinch, I felt stronger physically then I ever had, and more calm in the mind. Day 3 was 65 at the parking, pretty warm for my taste, but as a snow storm was rolling in it seemed smart to give at least a few tries. First go I fell off the last move (can’t wait to share that 😂), second go at the crux, and third try, I SENT 🤯 IG won’t let me elaborate more this post but I can’t wait to share the entire story with everyone, and the send!!! Thanks for the support from my homies who believed in me (you know who you are amigos 🙌🏻) and @alizee_dufraisse for reminding me I can actually do what I set my mind to 💞 time to enjoy the FREEDOM 👐🏻!!!!」10月12日 4時51分
