Disturbing Trend of Failure

Posted April 24, 2007 at 6:31 pm · Comments { 0 } ·

A trend became painfully apparent during my last trip to the RRG: I don’t usually get very much accomplished when I climb there. For the number of days I have climbed there (roughly 50) I don’t really have much to show for it (less than 10 5.12′s in total). I’m not talking about needing to [...]
