Subtle

It's strange when you watch someone climb and they make a move look easy and yet when you try it you can't even hold on. Today I tried to watch as Pete casually pulled off the ground on my project. I have a problem with A.D.D. when I am bouldering, but I want to do this problem, so I studied him as he tried it. When I tried it however I could barely hold on let alone pull up. Today was different though, my A.D.D. was still there, I kept trying. Sounds simple right? Right to me too! But it's not always so simple to do. Today though as I kept trying I would gain a little bit of height, I would hit the hold and stay a little longer. And today I stuck the crimp! I gave a half ass try on the next move, but I hit the crimp and because of that little bit of progress I now feel confident that I can do the problem.

Climbing is cool!
