Joe Kinder recently ticked off two 5.14c’s in Utah which he recapped in this blog post full of some great pictures and this quote that really applies to all of us:
My GAWD I was psyched. Put it this way… GOALS WERE ALL MET! What more could I ask for?!?! Two 8c+ routes (2nd ascents I believe) in a week just sounds cool to me. I mean really, I am not Adam Ondra or anyone that bad ass, but shit man… when you send your projects you feel like THE MAN!!! I love that and have gotten a few good doses of it and now i need more…
I love that quote Narc! It gives meaning to anyone’s hard send whether it is 9b or 6c ! Kinder embodies my favorite group of climbers, those that kick serious ass but aren’t mutants to the point of their accomplishments seeming unreal to us mere mortals. I hope he sends something insane in Spain.

I should supplement my comment by stating that I am aware that Kinders climbing is still out of this world.
