Chutzpah (V10) | River Boulders - Index, WA 🪨🌊🚣‍♂️

6/25/2023

I’m psyched to say that this was my first outdoor V10! Bouldering has been journey full of physical and mental obstacles. These first 2 years of climbing have taught me many lessons about having confidence in myself and trusting that I am capable of what I put my mind towards. I’ve also learned that everyone’s progression is different and that I need to trust my own timeline regardless if I feel like I’m on a small plateau. There are just too many details to explain in one post.

As for the boulder, I wish that the video angle showed the overhang of the rock more clearly but it’s fine. I was surprised to be hitting the first move consistently! My biceps were a bit tired after Chutzpah stand and my ankle was hurt from a fall from a dyno, but I tried hard to push through that. I cleared my mind before each attempt. By the time I was at the top of the boulder, I was too shook to even process it all.

Thank you @fiveonepointfive for driving me to the restroom when I had a stomachache before Chutzpah 😅, @ardch.i for power spotting me and helping me realize that where I was grabbing the top sloper was trash, and @campus_beta and @seant_urner for the psych!!

I sincerely apologize to anyone who was at SBP Upper Walls at 7:55pm on 1/26/2023 because I let out this large scream 🤠

Anyways, here is maybe the most difficult boulder that I’ve climbed up to this point. I was excited to have read out the start beta on my own. It’s definitely my style of boulder and the most fun one that I’ve ever climbed. I was nailing down the whole boulder until the very last match, which was taking me far too long. Thankfully @theo.murrayyyy came in clutch with the micro-beta and send train.

As I continue to climb, I realize how important micro-adjustments are going to be in climbing harder grades. I’m going to work on paying attention to details. On another topic, I’ve always wanted to use this audio and I think this is a good occasion to do it!!

The feet first beta went ✅. I wasn’t expecting to get this loll. Thank you to everyone who supported 😅.

My fingers are feel like they’re getting closer to their old form now. I thought that CONSECUTIVE injuries on the SAME finger on BOTH hands would set me back for a while, but I’m really happy with the amount of healing that’s been going on and the progression that I’ve been making. Been warming up the fingers with extra caution recently and trying new exercises.

I definitely have a lot of outdoor goals that I would like to achieve, and there’s only limited time in a season, so I really want to ensure I’m in good shape for all of that. by @knee.bar

Managed to knock down another V10 in the gym. It was pretty unexpected to me given my recent finger injury, but I luckily didn’t have to rely too much on that finger with this boulder 🍀. I’m also very thankful for everyone who cheered 🥹 definitely made my day by @knee.bar
