Time to Terminate

Think like a machine, climb like a machine!
Another day at Dumbie passed without success on Sabotage. On Friday I pulled through twice only for my hand to slip sending me catapulting backwards. Again today on my first few goes I stuck the pinch twice only for the friction to crap out as I pulled over. Each session I’ve tried it from sit down ten times until I couldn’t make the lip. Although there’s nothing hard it saps energy quickly.
As with my run of late starts recently - I’m running EST hours these days, I stayed back with a torch. This time I brought a rope and had a look at Totallity that I’d never done. After some messing about trying positions on the rope I got up the thing with an undignified shut rope. Falling off was more fun. Eagle boulder next time I think.
I could weep and moan about various excuses for failure but I wont. My routine is wearing thin. Training, weather, weight, diet, shoes, moon cycles… I can feel that big head fuck coming again as with Puta-Rue. Searching for an element that makes a difference. I know the number one factor is motivation. The Terminator didn’t stop and neither will I!
