**Abuela Cochinita**
« on: May 23, 2015, 08:06:41 PM »
Or, as I've been slaughtering it all day: "Abulita Conichita"   ::)

Anyhoo...just tooting my own horn for my second 5.8 lead!!  Woohoo!  Proof that Tilting Terrace wasn't a fluke a couple weeks ago.   ;)

I had wanted Bob's route to be my first 5.8 ever since I started grabbing crud but Tilting Terrace came calling first recently so Grandma had to settle for second. 

They may share a rating but what a vast difference between the two!  It may have just been the wind and cold whipping around me today but the climb certainly got my attention in a few places whereas Tilting Terrace was just plain fun. 

It's so great to have a whole bunch of new stuff to tackle now!  Stoking the fire.   >:D

(There aren't many places/people who would understand so thanks for listening!)

Of course some of us already knew that.

Heck - it's taken me three years to get this far...might be a while for the next leap.

Congratulations, CruxLuv! Thanks for sharing your excitement, and I'm totally feeling it all the  way out here (in traffic from Pinnacles).

Abuela is sustained.  You've done it, so I think you're solid for 5.9, Lisa. Thank Brad for getting bolt #6 in!

There ya go. Coach says you're ready. Just find a nice one that resonates with you, and takes gear or nice clips, then you'll be set.

Well, most of you.

I was going to give some ideas for a first 5.9 lead, but I guess the comment above puts me out of the running  :o

Hey, but I can comment about 5.10a. Talk to J.C. about Side Horse in the High Peaks. It's truly 5.10a, but it's a boulder problem crux (Crux) that's part of a longer, much easier climb. 5.10a is number you could do and that you could have fun with!

Tilting Terrace is 5.6. Side Horse may be 5.10b for certain heights.

That put me out of running too.  :o

But hey, I don't have a route to recommend anyway.  First, follow enough 5.9's (and maybe even 5.10's) and you'll know when you are ready to lead, which can be very very soon. Next time, maybe not to turn away from that TR on Wet Kiss?  ;)
