Pretty Hate Machine

This route kicked my ass, but at the end I passed David's man test:)

ok route. 6 goes over 3 seasons. always got on it at the end of the day, whilst completely smoked. amazing what being fresh does for sending.

Really cool movement to a two move crux.

Seems only fitting that Jeff gave me the send belay on my FIRST ever arsenal send. He's given me the most shit over the years for my avoidance of the arsenal. Pretty hate was a love hate relationship. Felt I needed to do it as the "entrance" to other routes in the arsenal, people gave me such a hard time "oh that's the worst one," "It's harder than pump," etc. But I truly came to enjoy it!! I' probably tried this a dozen times over the past few years and finally decided to buckle down and get it done this year. Didn't take long, just took the commitment to doing it. And also, big thanks to Jeff for recommending I stickclip the second bolt instead of just pulling through because of a wet pocket I was avoiding. I would have continued to one hang from the second bolt haha. Really stoked to put this one down.
