Zulu!! ✨ It’s taken me awhile to gather words for this route and I still haven’t found them so fck it - these long, crazy moves taught me so much in patience, humility, strategy, and love. And commitment! Knowing when to jump and grab, knowing when to slow down and find stillness, despite my body telling me to let go. I’ve never had to fight my body so much on a route - to suspend the disbelief in my forearms and keep moving !!️ On the send go I botched the bottom boulder problem and thought it was pointless to go on, but kept setting little markers for myself a few moves higher and soon realized I felt better on this go than the last (of which I had pitched off the last hard move). The end felt almost anticlimactic because every other go had this dramatic fall from the crimp. But finally, I latched it. Inspired by the picture of @emilyaharrington on Zulu (4th photo, taken by @ladzinski) over a decade ago, to this season. A big Rifle chapter closed for me. And BIG LOVE to the community for just being who y’all are!! 💛💛 The support, stoke, check-ins, belays, beta, and cheers are such an integral part of the Rifle experience.
