Breaking Into V4: My First V4 Boulder Send

I am still a little shocked writing this: I sent my first V4! I honestly did not think this was going to be the day, and when I topped out I could hardly believe it. I was utterly surprised that I actually managed to send it.

After my first V3, I spent a long time grinding V3 after V3. It did not always feel exciting while I was doing it, but every one of those climbs taught my hands and feet something new, and all of that practice came together on this V4.

I am really happy to have finally broken into V4 territory. It is a whole new level to explore, and I cannot wait to see how many more I can send.

What got me to V4

Climbing lots of different V3s built up the strength and technique I needed for the next grade.
Coming back to the wall again and again is what made the difference.
Sometimes the send comes when you least expect it, so it is always worth one more try.
