You will send, and it will be glorious

This is literally a caption out of the newest Yosemite bouldering guidebook, bold font, spread across a full page spread of a climber gripped on a beautiful granite Valley boulder with some snow, a sunset, and El Capitan in the background. I smirk every time I turn across this page. So true. So true.

Well, today I DID send. And it WAS glorious. Not that sending isn’t always glorious (it is), but this particular time was especially noteworthy of supreme gloriousness. With whoops and hollers from the entire family, I pulled off Sentinel Traverse, v6, a Valley classic. I NEVER send in the Valley. Never ever. In fact, the last time I did a Valley classic was in 2016 (so not even kidding). Today was a good day. Glorious, to be exact.
