day 13

So, I finally hit the crux pinch on Hard Boiled. And for about 1/1000 of a second, it felt like redpoint time. Never in my life have I hit a hold that bad. My fucking fingers were, like, fucking folded under themselves or something. I can't really remember, except to say that it was bad. I though for a moment I could make something out of it, then I was outta there. I thought I might have had enough of the pinch to bump on to it, but no. The pinch spit me off. But it was close.
