Project Diary: My Mind is a Blank 5.11+ Inaugural spring day at college rock starting of the 2024 climbing season. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6698410c7c8eff28481ca957/a4f0844b-f5cb-4fba-9051-1df4d2cd1c58/ezgif.com-animated-gif-maker+%282%29.gif Home -

Project Diary: My Mind is a Blank 5.11+ - Winter training arc My two main off-the-wall training methods were hangboards for the small crimps and weighted pull-ups for the powerful upper crux. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6698410c7c8eff28481ca957/8e2988d6-57b7-428e-b53a-7810fad9b7e3/ezgif.com-crop+%281%29.gif Home - Project Diary: My Mind is a Blank 5.11+ - Reaching for the crack I call the foothold the “Washington Hold” since it looks like Washington state. Fun fact: referring to holds based off their likeness to US states is very common (my current project has an Idaho Hold) https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6698410c7c8eff28481ca957/4fcf6931-7da3-4306-95bf-a8fd53129c3d/IMG_4466.jpg Home - Project Diary: My Mind is a Blank 5.11+ Off-season for rock climbing is in season for ice climbing! https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6698410c7c8eff28481ca957/0d9c5940-fc09-4121-b6ab-0b06d6c08951/IMG_5672.jpg Home - Project Diary: My Mind is a Blank 5.11+ I felt certain that I was close to sending the entire route. However, the beta for the roof continued to elude me. I spent a fair amount of time trying to piece it together, convinced that I was just one move away from finishing. Despite not completing the climb, I left satisfied, having gone one move further. I figured that next session I would definitely send (pattern emerging). https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6698410c7c8eff28481ca957/7e409204-03ca-4b37-a3a3-f40f797f383e/ezgif.com-animated-gif-maker.gif Home - Project Diary: My Mind is a Blank 5.11+ The tininess and blankness of the holds are clearer from the side. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6698410c7c8eff28481ca957/f4bc423e-f54b-4ec0-9603-e94df34d6028/IMG_5677.jpg Home - Project Diary: My Mind is a Blank 5.11+ Rising directly up this featureless section is a 5.11+ route aptly named “My Mind is a Blank,” the hardest route at the crag. Its challenge was irresistible. The easy day climbing with friends suddenly turned into a hard projecting session. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6698410c7c8eff28481ca957/81230b04-a84d-4bb1-bed4-2dcea87457f7/IMG_3478+%281%29.jpg Home - Project Diary: My Mind is a Blank 5.11+ - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6698410c7c8eff28481ca957/08a0853f-3c4a-4947-9e9c-c6386770ed96/Screenshot+2024-07-25+at+11.22.34%E2%80%AFPM.png Home - Project Diary: My Mind is a Blank 5.11+ The Mountain Project route description. It also mentions that “most sane folks toprope this route” https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6698410c7c8eff28481ca957/c877f667-1122-4ab6-929e-9e92bb5ca6be/IMG_A40E405A9FFF-1.jpeg Home - Project Diary: My Mind is a Blank 5.11+ While the lower crux demanded explosive power combined with precision and perfect coordination, the upper crux was all about raw, flailing strength. The beta I worked out involved reaching for a solid jug at the lip of the roof. The jug itself was fantastic, but the reach to get there required a massive span that forced me to cut my feet from the wall and swing out wildly. Great, another low-percentage move. https://www.mattognibene.org/contact daily 0.75 2024-07-20 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6698410c7c8eff28481ca957/bd58f9ef-3711-4556-b561-37e27d734a48/DSC_0133+1.jpg
