The Nest (8C) | Can’t believe I got it done this season. What a perfect boulder. Likely last go on the last day of the season, 18 sessions. Some key beta changes on session 15 improved my confidence. Let go of expectations and planning to send and just climbed. My proudest accomplishment to date and a true mental test of belief and determination knowing I could do it but unable to get it done until now. Cried after the send. Stoked! |

The Harp (7A) | In order to succeed, we must first believe that we can. A gem of a boulder that has shown me progression like no other. Thanks Sarah for the support! |

Nameless Heroes (7A+) | Sheesh that’s hard and weird. The rock and holds on this are the best I’ve climbed on in red rocks, though. |

Trieste Stand (8B+) | 5 sessions... My progress on this one was relatively linear. Took two sessions to get the face-level beta down and do it in two overlapping links. Sessions 3 and 4 were all about learning the subtlety beta. Finally, during session 5, I hit all the holds right and everything flowed rather smoothly. Ended up using a highly technical kneebar for the moves to the slot and knob. Psyched about this one.. Spent a lot of time watching Owen and Brian try this while thinking that it was too hard for me. Felt quite satisfying to prove myself wrong. |

Trieste Stand (8B+) | So much patience with this one, a few days last year and a couple days this year of getting agonizingly close many times. Finally felt the time was right and was able to climb it pretty perfectly on the send go, just as the light was dying topping out the slab numb and in the dark as any good story ends. Learned a lot about how progress can be gauged through trying this one! To me even this feels pretty bench 8B+ compared to a lot of the others I’ve tried and certainly a step up from the 8B circuit around here. Would love to dedicate some skin to the low once I grab some more boulders |

Sketchticon (6C) | Fun highball with a bit of a spice factor. “I’m just gonna see how pads looks under it, I’m just gonna see what it looks like with chalk, I just want you to show me the first moves, it’d be cool if you did it.” |

Trieste Stand (8B+) | BOOM. Last day best day baby! Quite the battle, dropped the last move 5 times in a row, put a huge hole in my left ring finger. 8 days, my hardest, much harder than most 8Bs imo. definitely my most meaningful projecting process. |

Trieste (8B+) | Third session this trip. A really good couple of days out with good friends. Random try when I sent, the last one of the day, felt not so good on the lower moves but my mind was turned off, remember sticking the knob and thinking about how quiet it was. Great to climb from the true bottom to the top. |
