To embrace the night, darkness, is not to become less but rather to open one's mind to more possibilities. And in this case, it involves removing the pads to avoid a dab. Which didn't seem to be a problem at the time... At the time I felt that X-rays of my foot might tell a different story. It also calls to mind an incident a few years back which might have led to the prescription of a little Lithium. I recommend chalking any potentially wet top outs to avoid the necessity of repeating what was already difficult to do in the first place...

It's a strange dyno, more like grabbing at something while falling away than thrusting toward it, yet when it goes, it's effortless. Shawn Boye almost sticking the dyno on Untermensch! 7B+, Focksta. The send would come a little later during, this, the second session.

Untermensch!

I have a mantra for climbing success, its as simple as "Don't let go!" Unfortunately, this might not apply to low ball bouldering and the dreaded "dab". Untermensch! is such a problem, you can stick the jug and still not send, the crux being to keep your cutting foot off the pad. Shawn Boye working Untermensch! 7B+, Focksta.
