On this picture you can see two of the harder climbs I've done. On the left of the buldge is alledgely my hardest climb "Lieback". On the right, up the crack is "Ringo" I felt that this was harder at the time.
The feeling of satisfaction you get from climbing to the top on a lead is wonderful. It is a combination of problem solving, physical power and managing fear.
