Good day of climbing...

We started the day off at suck creek

where the temps were prime, but the lack of pads made it hard to climb

so after doing a few warm ups we headed to LRC

Andrew filmed me on the wave and the mechanic

From there we got word that there were pads under Bedwetters

I've been trying this problem ever since I moved to Chattanooga 4 years ago

I've had a mental block about that problem, the last move

It is really scary to me, it seems as if you are going to fall on the rock to the left

which you never do... but the mental block prevented me from doing it

I tried it today, and first try got to the last move and set up and went for it

unfortunately my right foot popped right when i went for the finish

I tried it again and same thing happened but this time i just dropped because it didn't feel right

I couldn't generate to get to the finish hold

The body position wasn't right

I tried it one more time from the bottom, and it didn't feel right again

It was getting frustrating

So i decided to try just that last move

Tried it a couple times and couldn't make it feel right

Finally after a couple more tries of the last move, I decided to grab the seam higher than I always do

Got my left foot up on the smear

And DONE!

I stuck the move!

There we have it, I unlocked the 4 year mystery

I had done the last move one time before, but it was 3 years ago or so

So I didn't really remember how I did it

It was really good for me to do the last move

And I feel that i'll be able to dispatch this climb next time i get on it

SO PSYCHED!!

From there we went over to cast away

Never got close to it

But decided to give it a whirl

I tried it a couple times and each time got a little closer

When finally, I latched the hold but slipped out of it

I was so psyched

Tried it many more times, but just couldn't get back to that hold

I was pretty tired and let it go

I'm hoping to get back to both of these problems

I just need to rest up some, and get it done

I'm also going to set Cast Away at the gym... haha...

The weather is looking really good for this next week!

Get to climbing!
