The 'projekt' in Číro, a formidable line I'd earmarked as a potential 8c, was more than just a climb; it was a testament to persistence. Located on the craggy, often windswept face of Číro, this particular route had teased me for months. Each session was a meticulous breakdown of sequences, a battle against pump and gravity, and an ongoing dialogue with self-doubt. The crux, a series of crimps leading into a dynamic cross-over, seemed insurmountable at first. But with every attempt, small pieces clicked. The feeling of finally linking the entire ascent, pushing through the last desperate moves, was a profound mix of relief and exhilaration. Sending this 8c 'projekt' wasn't just about reaching the anchors; it was about the growth, the discipline, and the sheer joy of overcoming a long-standing challenge in a place as unique as Číro.
