It's the first time I've been to the VRG and it
wasn't blistering cold. I have never really
appreciated the climbing here because of that. Mike
hasn't seemed to have had any problems and just does
his thing--ticking off route after route each time
he comes here. This time, I've planned to hang out
and try to do a few routes. Now, I have a different
problem. It's gotten very warm out and I've been
sliding off of holds, which is off-putting for me to
want to try hard and get past that. I tried really
hard today, for example, and slipped off waaaaaay up
high. I was so tired that my next attempt was not
only greasier but harder. I was trying to hold on so
hard that I was getting pumped not 4 bolts off the
ground. I could've pushed it, but I was hoping to
save some juice for tomorrow, my last day and the
last potentially 'good' climbing day until next
season. wish me luck!
