Progress...

Jon and I have been workin on the projects lately, and slowly but surely some results are showin. Today we did the usual warm ups, falling ooh so deeply into the routine norm. it was day number 3, and at a place as physical as this wall, that many days is truly only for those who know how to persevere. After I did a bolt to bolt of the bottom crux of TripTik, decided Kinematix was ready for yet another redpoint burn. After only having pulling through the reeeeeally tough Total Eclatch at this point in the project process, not too much was expected. He pieced it together in style falling on the head wall( 1 move from the second to last clip) then right away went to the top. Needless to say when your dealing with a 9a route, a 1 fall is some IMPRESSIVE STUFF!! Magnus and Rustam, the two latest accents of the route, took quite some time before entering into the headwall just to give some perspective on this stuff.

So after that it was up to me to keep the standard of progression. I hopped on TTT and stuck the first of the 2 crux moves(which is at the end of a difficult resistence sequence the first 6 clips off the ground). Super gassed, I try to bump up on it a little better and get spit off. SYKED...because yesterday I was able to do the route from 2 clips below to the chain, so the end is near!!!

heres enzo oddo( 13 year old Nice BEAST, sending the route just the other day)

after such a good day we are left in good spirits.
GOOD THINGS ARE COMING
