Lowering Off The Pressure

Adam Ondra, writing about his efforts on La Dura Dura for La Sportiva:

As I felt so strong, I decided not to take another restday, and try the very next day. Lowering off the pressure, taking it less seriously. But from the morning, I had doubts about this decision. My forearms were a little sore, Chris typed me a message that he was taking rest as he felt sore. But I persisted.

For me this is one of the big takeaways from this send that can be relevant  for all climbers, not just mutants.  It took me a long time to realize this—and in many ways I still struggle to harness this knowledge—but oftentimes success in climbing comes at times when your mind least expects it.

Angie Payne On The 2013 Hueco Rock Rodeo

Angie Payne, writing about her experience at the 2013 Hueco Rock Rodeo:

It was an incredibly hard 8+ hours of climbing, but I had the pleasure of spending the entire day with a great group of strong women and many other entertaining people.  I laughed even more than I flailed on boulders, so it must have been a good day!

Winning never hurts either.  At least I imagine it doesn’t.
