Hi, all! I've been lurking for a while, but haven't had a lot to say. Been climbing for about a year now, all indoors so far.
Last night, though, I finally worked myself up to try some 5.10- routes; I've been on the eights and most nines for a while, but I have surgery coming up in a couple weeks and will be off the walls for at least three weeks, and I decided I was going to climb a ten before that happened.
I am now bruised and scraped and sore, and entirely failed to get more than halfway up any of the pitches I tried, but I am pretty sure that if I start when I'm still fresh, instead of waiting until I'm starting to get tired, a minus is in reach, and if I pick the right one, maybe even a plus. Woot.
