Going wrong, by Stevie Haston

When things go wrong they generally do. Do you suck or do you blow? You need to blow out the dust from drilled holes for bolts, and not suck! Anyway glue gun broke, not good. It's really hot here the glue goes off really quick .

Bolted three new routes, and started on one that is about a 45 meter  pitch and overhangs about 40 meters as well,  bit of a  crazy pump for someone, not too hard 8b+? We will see. Things are always easy before, never easy when red pointing, and then easy afterwards.
Inigo, Mad man bolting,

The Underworld cliff was magic the other day. Inigo has gotten over his fear of the place and seems at home there now. Funny how some make progress and others don’t. Inigo has done 7a in his first year, some people don’t progress this high in 20 years! Interestingly a 9 year old girl did 8b  this week which should put  lot of posturing men in their pathetic place. Look to what you wish to do and not the past, progress and have fun!
