7/4 Early Bird (5.13b)
I put down my first 13b in the fourth of july heat wave! I've known about this climb for some time now, knowing it was a short but super bouldery climb. I knew I had the strength to do every part, and assumed even with low endurance I could link it all together, but I never got on it because the grade seemed out of reach. I finally found some time to get on it a few months ago, and had the chance to send it my second go, but messed up the second rest (didn't split far enough). I was amazed that I could have put it down that quick, but then also nervous coming back, because I knew I could do it, so I was going to be disappointed if I walked away without the send that day. Thankfully, after one more failed attempt, it went down on my fourth try total! I'm honestly pretty psyched to climb something of this grade, I never really thought I would get here. Also for anyone looking to try this, the start can be done with a bit less effort with better foot beta, but I never really tweaked my method because I at least knew I could get through it like this, and I just wanted to put it down!
@ryanireland__ super sick belay
Annnd this is actually the climb that meant to credit @josephskopec for the bolting and FA
