Fresh Off The Press

So some serious stuff has happened in the past several days!! where to begin...a veure...ok so last Teusday me and jon head to Enzo and Freds house for a night in a bed and a shower(our friends here are the best!) also, because the next day melissa showed up. After a loooong day of dealing with a SERIOUSLY JETLAGGED Melissa, we rest up and the next day make our way back to the cliff with public transportation. Getting back almost at the end of the day session(before the sun hits the wall) we hit the warmup routine quick and hard to get to the damn thing. Jon had his really good burn on Kine' a couple days before and was skeptical as to if he could live up to that attempt again today. After a bolt to bolt sess on both our projects, jon suits up to give it a burn. I gotta say, he made it through total eclatch, 8c, SOOOLID. the only other person I had seen do it that easily was Rustam, who podiumed at world cups, so I was syked to see what would happen. He starts the link into Honk and just keeps pullin until he shows up where he fell last time.....HE LOCKED OFF THE FUCKING MOVE!!!!! So needless to say, the game was fuckin on now. He only had 8 more nonstop power pullin moves of INTENSE resistence left, each move was a toss in the air, couldn't tell what was goin on in his mind except just try and keep going. He sticks the first finish hold...there is a slight pause, his feet were lower than usual....while in his hesitation his arms are chicken winging like you wouldn't believe...afraid he is freezing up I shout oyut "C'mon, fuckin throw it up there"!!! right off he tosses his foot high, throws a kneebar, matches up, and CLIPS THE CHAINS OF KINEMATIX, HIS FIRST 5.14D!!!! Props jonny boy! I hopped on Triptik once, stuck my highpoint then bumping again slipped off, just matching it and I am finished. Also, I then went from lower before the crux, all the way to the top, so I know it is finished within the next couple goes, fellin syked.

Friday we met up with our friends from Down Under and went to Jurassic Park. We had tried this route there recently Zobble, 5.14b/c, for one day and were syked to get some more time on it. After I go bolt to bolt to get the beta down again, Jon hops up and pumps off after the crux move!!! I too get a high point sticking the first crux move and bein a little to tired to pull off the next one. Jons next go and he easily polishes off Zobble, 5.14b/c!!! I get a little too fatigued to get to the chain, but am certain that this too will be finished up next few attempts on it!

Well, Jon....5.14d and .14c.....not a bad 2 days, bet your feelin pretty good

heres a little after shot of his victory meal
