Monastary Project from Ethan Pringle on Vimeo.

This was Chris Sharma's long-term project, which he finally redpointed in September. It's called Jumbo Love (9b).

I get impatient when I project a route and it takes more than 5 tries. I aim to redpoint a route in less than 5, which could be an indication that perhaps I should be trying harder routes. Right? Right. I'll get back to you on that. There's something here called the weather....

I hate falls. Short falls, long falls, falls at a crux, falls just before clipping, falls at the start, falls before the anchors. Falls because a hand/foot hold is wet/slimy/crumbly/fell off. Doode, I hate them.

And then I watch something like this.

It's called perspective.
