Ascents in Mr. Moran and Adjacent

So close! Got the traverse, but couldn't link the mantle.

This was the last climb of our 3 month long trip around the world that marked the end of an era where I lived abroad outside Mexico. The name denotes the fact that we were very little time away from coming home and the fact that Maria was about to send her first V5. Emotional for sure. I will always remember this trip- we even left the ol' slab of red rock with the name and grade of this boulder underneath that beautiful piece of aztec sandstone

Whoa! Unbelievable! I was very iffy about this whole sending-a-V7-before-the-trip-was-over business! And in a day! I went through all the stages: excitement at first, then disbelief when I couldn't pull off the ground, then hope when I could do all the moves, then skepticism of whether I could string all the moves, then pure psyched-ness, then something else outside me took over and somehow pulled it out of the hat! Surprised by the speed and tried repeating it for two days and couldn't! Lucky!!
