Added another display this morning in the museum at the Phoenix Rock Gym. Presently filling in a open shelf above the bolting display. Left side of the shelf completed, next week the right side will be added. I give a big THANKS to gym owner Paul Diefenderfer for giving me this awesome space in the gym to display the museum!

“Seeing is Believing,” is only a midway step to overall success.
The saying “Seeing is Believing,” is used by many athletes and individuals as they strive for some form of success. Seeing is believing is not what creates success, but is the hope element that brings forth faith in the individual to reach the goal of success. The seeing can actually be the overall item that keeps individuals from achieving success. Knowing that another person has achieved success as one strives for the same success, can raise the ego which can block achievement of the success. A person needs to go past the seeing to succeed. The opposite of Sight is Faith and Faith is the element which is offered to everybody to achieve success.
Professional climber Joe Czerwinski has been attempting to climb a powerful route up a short rock boulder, which in the rock climbing world is known as a boulder problem. The boulder problem does not require ropes but has a padded flooring to prevent injury in case of a fall. For ten years Joe has traveled to the boulder problem location and has worked every move over and over to achieve climbing this boulder route from bottom to top without a fall. Joe understands how much strength is required to hold each hold, and the sequence puzzle of each move that is required to keep the climber from falling off of the problem.
Applying “Seeing is Believing” to this boulder problem shows Joe that other climbers have achieved success on this problem, and a person being able to climb this problem is possible. If Joe applies the other climbers success to his success, Joe will fail to climb the route since it only gives him hope of success. Failing the hope within oneself can raise the ego and the ego will avoid being seen as failing in others “seeing.” Seeing can create personal inadequacy. This is why many climbers find other projects to work on and do not return to the problems that they have failed on in the past. But in this case, Joe is driven by his faith and he returns year after year knowing that he has the ability to achieve success. Now after ten years and after many dozens of attempts, Joe has succeeded to climb the boulder problem from bottom to top without a fall. It was the Faith within the self that created strength beyond strength, and then achieved the success.
During Joe’s climb, other climbers were cheering Joe on giving him extra encouragement to succeed. But within faith Joe needed no witness and the climbing was a personal achievement, not a group achievement even though others were seeing his success.
When striving for success look deep into the self and believe in the self without the need of “seeing.” Everybody has faith available in their self and this faith can give hope to the others that are still just “seeing.”
Boulder problem location: Hueco Tanks State Park, El Paso Texas.
Name of problem “Try Harder”
Difficulty rating: V9, but more realistic a V10/V11 rating.
Successfully climbed January 2017.

I had a few bucks in my REI dividend so I scored the new Black Diamond nut tool beer opener. Yes another nut tool for the museum!!! Also I noticed REI has a few new stickers "Force of Nature" which they also sell bandanas to match. I was searching for the Blueberry Picky bar which has a climber on the cover photo by Jon Jonckers, but I only found this All In Almond bar which has a boulderer on the wrapper. I gave it a taste and it tastes really delish! The search continues for the Blueberry Boomdizzle bar!

Timid TopRope - Thanks for the props!
I just received the new evolv Adaptive Foot for the Karabin Museum! It is Awesome! The Adaptive Foot was designed by my friend Malcolm Daly, founder of Great Trango Holdings company and Paradox Sports, to be used by lower extremity amputee climbers. The evolv Eldo Z climbing shoe is used with the Adaptive Foot which was also designed by Malcolm Daly and evolv. This summer I hope to see Malcolm and get his signature on this great climbing gem!

Found a old photo from the late 1990s of Gary Burns, Bill Burns and Marty getting ready to climb Adios Larry in Lower Devils Canyon AZ. I of course am sporting a Jimi Hendrix tshirt.

I visited my mom in Ohio for Easter and we made a few Ukrainian eggs. We make them every year so over time we got pretty good creating them. So each egg only takes one to two hours to complete.

Jim - Thanks for the props. I still want to race my mom with the one hour challenge to see who can create the most detailed egg in that short amount of time. Its a lot of work. I bet my mom will easily win. She knows many shortcuts to achieving great detail.
