T-Wall

Good Day at T-Wall. I'm burned from my bouldering, so I needed a day of hand jams and laybacks. I got it for sure ;)... Routes - Arts (5.8)
- Good warm up... the crux move didn't really feel like an 8 (more like a V2 bouldering problem), but that was just an omen of what was to come.
- Pursuit of Excellence (5.9)
- It was my lead, my jamming technique sucks, I get about 20 feet up on this route gripped to all hell because I don't trust my stances (I spent 10 minutes moving up and down in crappy hand/feet jams) and fall and almost deck on my #2 camalot which in the process of my fall gets tipped out and thank GOD! it held. Not to mention correct belay technique, that would have been a pain had Luke not ran and taken a few feet. I was actually falling back first into an ugly boulder... Nice ~.8/9 fall factor.
- RazorWorm (5.9) and Cake Walk (5.8)
- Sanscrit (5.8)
These routes were harder than the damn sport routes at Sandrock... man my jamming skills suck. If I work on those just a little, I'd be a solid 5.10 trad climber... all those moves feel the same except for those friggin jams :) I am such a sport climber hah...
