Though I’ve been dangling off the cliffs of Yosemite for twenty-plus years now, I couldn’t help but feel overwhelmed with intimidation at the base of the roof crack known as Separate Reality.

Bit of a miserable day of #climbing in #Beez, #belgium yesterday. Got spooked while leading the first easy climb. Continued on top-rope and couldn't finish any of the subsequent routes without hangdogging. Frustrating...It's a style of climbing that's not really my favorite though. Slightly overhanging with lots of pockets and you can't really see which are the good ones until you move to them. So lots of trying, retreating, etc. Which requires more strength than I have available.
