Yesterday I made a mistake, maybe the reason was that i felt so strong and relaxed, and with too much confidence that when i stepped in a small hold, my foot slept and nothing could be done to change it. 

When I fell, I couldn’t understand how that was possible. The most surprised person was myself. After that I needed to climb, and we went to Nasserai, a small climbing crag 20km from Imst. It was cold, but my mind was boiling, trying to get an answer about the situation. In the morning I had woken up and everything was still very possible, but 6 hours later the world cup was lost, no chance to make up enough points in the classification. I focused in the climbing and I tried the first route, it is called Fortuna, a really nice steep wall, really crimpy and resistent 8b/+, I sent it on sight. But I couldn’t feel anything in my fingers. For the next route I only rested around 10 min because I wanted to climbing feeling my fingers and I sent another 8b+/c on sight for my ticklist: Janus. It is two routes to the right of Fortuna. Both are nice, but there were some really wet holds, making the climbing unconfortable.

After that I tried two routes more but I did not success but, at least, I got to forget a little bit my mistake in the comp, disconnecting of it with friends: Bernardo, Ghiti, Felipe, Diego,Irati, two German climbers, and the Russians, Sergio and Mikel. The competition was over for us, but not for the finalist.

And it was the moment to enjoy the final and the climbing in the audience. We grabbed some beers, pizza and went to enjoy the final. When I was there, I didn’t think about what had happened, but with the final result, nothing is completely lost, so it is very difficult to get the world cup, but there is a small possibility and this gives me the motivation to fight in the next two cups. I like the hardest goals, the amazing goals, and this is what gives me a special motivation to fight, train and get better. So I am like this, and from now until Kranj, I will try to make it happen, nothing is lost! 

And now, I will rest, to recover my skin and get power and motivation for the next weekend because I want to fight, this is my best chance, no physical stuff or anything else, it is my mind which gives me the best and also the worst. And it is true that I had been like a month without climbing in rock, but it is like my aspirin, my vitamin. Came on lets go climbing because the best season has arrived with the perfect temperature and almost all dry.  

The pictures were taken yesterday. Eric Lopez could be a model, what do you think? and Pablo could be a ghost. Also Diego climbing Fortuna. Enjoy them.

 Also we had the oportunity to see what is better: to open the beers with ATC Sport or with carabineers.
