April-17-2005

Some days are so beautiful that you have to step up your game.
This is "Ant's Line" which is a fantastic climb at the Gunks.
The guidebook says it is graded 5.9 which is difficult anywhere but particularly challenging at the Gunks.
Corinne stepped up to this climb which is harder than anything she has lead before. She worked out her stategy and headed up the climb. When she reached the top, she still hadn't fallen.
Climbing is psychologically as well as physically challenging, particularly when you are climbing at your limit. Corinne showed a great deal of resolve today which inspired me to hold on to the rock a little harder as well.
