But today was really fucking good. Dylan debuted setting. And he KILLED it. His routes are really good. Despite the loathing he projected towards one problem which turned out being really good and pissing people off with the fact it's a sit start and we haven't done sit starts ever, I enjoy climbing his problem. His potential is unlimited. I hope he continues working with us. It was a refreshing change of style. My buddy Will (whose out due to pulley injuries)said "There's not one problem on there I wouldn't do. They all look amazing." If you can make the injured psyched to recover faster, then you're doing something right, right?
Overall, the day turned out good. And I'm psyched to be setting again.
I'm psyched that my jump start/stand-up-to-the-start problem turned out how I imagined. I'm getting better at working out my ideas for setting onto the wall. Not thinking too hard about it. I feel that overly thinking about a certain moves tends to botch the rest of the moves. I really enjoy working my weaknesses out in climbing. Slopers, pinches, underclings, dynos...that's what plastic pulling is for me. That's just one little aspect of climbing rocks. Climbing in my eyes is about finding something that challenges you and pushes you to the limit, where you have no other choice but to go further than you thought and not limit yourself. If you're weak on jumps, get better at them. If you're weak on big moves train yourself to get good on them. Don't say, 'I'm not good at jumps so I'll never do them' or 'Dynos are fucking dumb. Why would you ever do one?' or some bullshit like that. That's just one more limit on yourself you're implementing.
If you like to limit your potential, sucks to be you.
Then again, I don't really care if you limit yourself or stay in your comfort zone. It doesn't affect me does it?
