adventuregal Posted July 30, 2003 Posted July 30, 2003 So I lead my first trad pitch this weekend... It d! I was apprehensive to do it, but my partners were super positive and enouraging... I could have been content for quite some time to just follow others up routes. Doing that was within my comfort zone. But my partners had faith in me(and they weren't gonna lead it because they knew I could, so it was either climb or bivy on the ledge.) so I just took the rack and went for it. Now I can't wait to lead again! Moral of the story: sometimes you need a little push to bring you up to the next level. Thanks guys for the encouragement! (you know who you are) You're the best!
