Therapy Couch Time

Why pay for therapy when you have climbing? To book your appointment, stick clip the first bolt and lace up your shoes. Work through your childhood trauma as you take on the tricky face moves and big reaches at the roof. Discover five different helpful analogies for managing your depression while on the relaxing jugs that angle up and right, finding out how to apply them to your day-to-day life while resting in the heart-shaped hueco mid-route. Finally, clip the perma and muster up the courage to confront your inner demons, cranking through the crux with nothing but your determination to overcome whatever life throws at you. As you clip the chains, you have an epiphany: your dad DID love you, he just didn’t know how to show it.

TCT is essentially the direct start to Couch Time, providing 20 feet of slightly harder and more engaging moves, as well as a more direct line. This start makes Couch feel more sustained & on-grade (contributing to route quality) and allows both Genesis Effect & this line to be climbed at the same time. The first bolt is quite high by Willow standards and the opening moves aren’t trivial, so a stick clip is recommended.

Take two steps to the right of the Couch Time/Genesis Effect start, look up, and spot the two bolts leading into Couch Time.
