Things that give you "the yum"
|
Climbing on a cold autumn day and climbing above the treeline into sun and warmth. |
|
Hand jams. |
|
|
|
Bouldery sequences between really good rests |
|
Low gravity days Hand jamBs Catching the dyno Hands free knee bars Soft catches The smell of a freshly unboxed pair of new shoes |
|
Rapping many pitches very efficiently, and getting back to the ground safely after a long hard day. |
|
When the comp kid doesn't flash my proj |
|
Successfully making it through the hard pitches, and only having victory lap pitches ahead of you. Last few hundred feet on Fairview, I'm looking at you. In a similar vein but smaller scale - getting to the jug after the crux. |

Catching that first glimpse of the wall thru a gap in the forest |
|
Juniper and sage smoke |

Perfect alpine start that gets you to the base and climbing at sunrise, while being first on the wall. |

Finding that there's a perfect hand jam over the lip of a roof A quality beer properly iced down in a cooler after a good climb and long hike out Wondering if you're lost on the approach and a cairn comes into view |
|
Getting a sweet breakfast burrito before going climbing and the pico de gallo is fine chopped and not too wet so it dosen't sogg out the burrito wrap. |
|
Strolling out of the bivy to take a dump in the awahnee and getting free coffee on a cold November morning |

Dave Weisberg Funniest guy on this website and y'all hate him cause he has the nerve to be right wing. |

Beating dead horses gives me the yum. Ignoring reality gives you the yum. |
