Update

Wow. So my last post was in January after divisionals. Since then much has happened, including all of routes season haha. Since my last post I have bouldered V10 (indoors), came first in JIBS (with Cameron Horst behind me), horribly failed at being a route climber, decided to not train for routes or compete in them again, went to summer camp for a month, and started projecting V10 outdoors. Also, I am now a sponsored athlete by Primo Chalk, makers of the softest, driest, and best smelling chalk on the market. Route season can be summed up in one single word. Pumped. I was always pumped. Regardless how many sessions of 60 moves I performed I was always pumped. When it camp to competition my only hopes were that I could power my way through the climb before lactic acid filled my forearms. I was headed into divisionals in 3rd place from regionals and lets just say that divisionals did not go well. I did, however, get to try speed climbing, which I shocked myself and qualified for finals in. I did not stay to compete. My new project outside (other than my secret FA boulders hehe) is Right Hand of the Leper (V10) and Moby Dick (V10). I think both will go once the cool temps come in. I have also began to run in an effort to lose some weight and climb harder. Psych is high this summer and big things are coming.
