balls vs no balls

Yday at Yishun was a very fun day for me as I did many climbs on many different routes.

Anyway, regretably, I found myself in the same situation as Junwei was in just a couple of months ago... ie 3 clips above the last runner and trying to clip in to the anchorpoint with trembly forearms.

In that split second, the thought flashed through my mind..to attempt to clip in on the end jug and accept the probabilitly (stacked against me at 99%) of falling (a v long way I might add) or to put my arms over the top edge of the wall and clip in relative safety.

Alas I have not as much balls as junwei :( I chose to pink point!

I have another recollection at Ton sai Wall in Krabi trying to redpoint Lion King (since i hangdogged my way up the first time). Anyway there I was trying to clip into the anchor (no top edge to pull myself over this time) and yet unable to hold on any longer due to extreme pump...of course fall la!!

Got to work on my resting and clipping and endurance and footwork ..alas - wat a long list.
