"They say to crush. 6a.7b.8c.
All I need is the psyche.
Get pumped and keep thrashing.
Keep lashing the rock.
Cat of nine tails instead of arms.
Hard head like granite.
Flowing up walls like blood in scary pictures.
Tear it down.
Exploit the weakness.
Drop knees and 7c’s."
"I am tired. So very tired. One month of 50-60 hour weeks. Barely making it to the gym. And when I do get there I’m tired and I find it hard to find the motivation. Bouldering is the pits and a poor substitute for route climbing. The only perk is setting your own routes. Creativity. And then climbing them yourself differently than you intended for them to be climbed. There’s a sense of satisfaction in route setting."
"You can only really truly know by trying. Speculation will get you no where."
