Lou, I've watched a bunch of your videos and I know you can climb harder than 5.8 so I have a question! In my experience at The Red, I will occasionally get blind sided by a grade and think "What the hell? This seems a lot harder than 5.X!" Last time I was there in October, I hit up a 5.7 in South Park that I just said screw it on and grabbed the chains after taking 2 falls. Yet, I know I can lead up to 5.10a maxed out. Were you totally pumped out here, or did you also have one of those "What the hell? 5.X my ass!" Moments? Lol, because I almost tried this climb at the end of a session once, but was pumped and opted for Nana and George next door, lol. Wendy looks pretty damn stout for a 5.8 to me, so glad I didn't swing it. 😂

It's mostly because this was at the end of the day. We did 8 climbs that day. The start is pretty stout for an 5.8 which is pretty gorge standard. The top was sketchy for me because I did not like the tree right behind me. Plus the whole Rock thing Brooke my focus. So a fall didn't seem too clean. I don't get to caught up into grades these days except for trad. There's a lot of financial investment and risk involved.

@LouDude502 Haha, fair enough! I mostly climb 5.8 sport, but I broke into 5.9s during Rocktoberfest and a single 5.10a called Kentucky Pinstripe over in Global Village. Clocked around 60 outdoor leads last year, so I'm not beating myself up when I hit "the wall" so to speak. But lol, I always think "what the hell?" When it feels harder than I thought it was going to be. 😂 I just crossed 1 year climbing, so I'm just happy to be out there! Haha, climb on, man! 🤘

@gabriellynn4418 Kentucky pinstripe was pretty rough for me on that start. I was not a fan lol. Pretty cool up top though.

@LouDude502 Oh, I agree with you, lol! You get over that damn ledge and then there's some gnarly slab until you're finally standing up on flat ground for a moment. I surprised myself that climb! I'm heading to Miguel's from April 17th to 21st for the first time out this season, and I may give it another go because I love warming up in the morning on Eureka! I put about 20 lbs on since last October, so I'll be haulin nearly 200lbs up the wall this time. I had a sedentary winter, but I'm about to shed some of it on the wall, I hope! Haha, at least on the hike. 😂
