At frog buttress I was half way up climb and strung out trying to find the gear and get it in without getting
too pumped.
Then along comes miss helpful !
Oh your on THAT climb, I heard it was HARD to protect, I heard some guy DECKED on THAT route.
I freaked, not long after starting to lead, I believed every word, and started swimming for the top.
Just get to the top, too pumped to place gear if it was hard to do, too pumped to down climb.
I arrived a heaving cold sweating mess, since then I am selective about what I will listen to while leading. |
