Zipper

[whirlwind]

where that it look cool

[thelawgoddess]

well, i didn't hit the zipper or that other thing, pp; but i did do my first lead ever at index! it was an easy one, but it was *so* SWEET.

[Peter_Puget]

Great! what was it?

 

PP

[thelawgoddess]

i'm going to tell you but you have to promise not to laugh, okay? i led both pitches of ULTRABRUTAL. i know, i know; it's only 5.7 ... and i've led much harder stuff than that, but it's been hard for me to get over the stigma of index. and it was so good for me because the baby steps are really helping me win back the headgame i was losing to at the end of last season!

 

ps - i think a better name for that climb would be ULTRADIRTY.

[Peter_Puget]

Sounds good to me. Why would I laugh? SO did you clean it up a bit?

 

I bet it was hot out there.

 

What's the Index stigma?

 

PP

[thelawgoddess]

yep, i needed a serious shower after that one!

 

it wasn't that hot as we didn't get to the crag until about 5:30pm. but the bugs were vicious.

 

Main Entry: stig·ma ... Function: noun ... an identifying mark or characteristic

Good for you, TLG. Any lead is a good lead when you haven't been on gear for awhile. Hopefully, you are breaking free from the cult of gym-climbing and boltclipping. Climb on, girlie.

She onsighted 5.9 slab above gear a few weeks ago here in Squamish , so I'm not too sure what she is worried about.

So lets see, that would be <calculate> <calculate> ..yup, about 65 cents on the dollar <calculate> <calculate> throw in a little WA state sales tax because Index IS in Washington <calculate> <add> <add> <subtotal>

 

...your Squamish 5.9 is about Index 5.5c.
