psychedelic - check!


So today was the first day that i can actually say that i have done a legit route! I nabbed the second ascent of "Psychedelic" 5.14d at the gorilla cliffs outside of St. George in Southern Utah! Though the route is only 60 feet tall i really had to give it everything i had to get this thing done. 60 feet is a heck of a lot for a boulderer!

After the send, i went to moe's and made a quick ascent of cloverland, V12. The day was great and i am very relieved to have finished my hardest route to date! from 13c to 14d! back to bouldering!?

Wow. Paul props man. Props. Your climbing abilities never cease to amaze. LEGIT!!!! I'm glad your healthy...and pushing your comfort zone in new arenas and climbing disciplines...I just got back from Spring break where I pushed my comfort zone and forayed into trad nabbing my hardest TRAD flash...Wartley's Revenge .11b @ Smith Rocks. Big deal for me.

Thanks for inspiring my climbing Paul.

"i can actually say that i have done a legit route!" ... 14d ... good thing you started on something easy!! damn straight! Maybe a stop at Necessary Evil on your way through the Gorge for something a little more casual? No wait, better take your bouldering power back to the pebbles before you make us route climbers feel any worse. Big congrats on achieving your goal, and like NM said, totally inspiring!

Es Pontas better be shaking right now!
Speaking of which, are you planning on going for the dyno, or fishing around for those intermediate crimps?
Either way you are my hero!
