I didn't even expect it

This weekend I went to Hp40 to do some climbing after more than a month off. I first hit up a few routes that I had worked on last time I was there, mostly V2s, one of which was Dope. Dope is a very short route with a horrible top of slopers. When I we got around to Dope some people where on it so I threw down my pad right by Mum Boy a V4. I had no expectation of even doing a few of the moves on it, I was just waiting for Dope to open up so I could conquer what had abused me on my last visit. Well the guys on Dope notice me watching them and asked if I wanted to try it so I did and topped out on my first try. So I went back to Mum Boy which by now they were climbing too. After I saw a few of their attempts on it I gave it a try. On my fourth try I knew that I could get it the next time so I chalked up and went for it. I hit the first sloper and immediately grabbed the next, I knew then that I had it and just walked my feet up and stood on top of the beautiful rock. It was a great feeling, and an incentive to continue to push myself and to climb on!
