Fourth go.

Will was close on the flash, slipping off after the crux! He finished the problem off on his fourth try.

7 sessions. First female ascent.

By the third session I was giving proper redpoint attempts. It’s uncanny how present of mind I was between attempts — sitting for 20 or 30 minutes in complete silence with only my resolution to improve every detail and execute perfectly. In the end, it was a perfect and sunny Saturday morning. I could hear the noon church bells sounding in the valley as I prepared for another go. I entered a complete flow state in which my breath was in sync with my movements and I had absolute clarity in my abilities. I found myself sitting on top of Dreamtime. [2]
