It's kinda funny to read the title of this thread. Kristine being as nice as she is, I thought she went out and actually "cleaned" Cholla.

Congrats on the climb!

If big red is a 5/10... how would you rank cholla?
cholla is up there... i've never cleaned cholla (although ive only been once)

if you've never been, then, some of those parts you don't even know if its possible. but you can stick around the parts you dont know how to get up of and watch the people pick their line. so in other words its really hard even if you know your line... so imagine if you didnt know where to go... i think its close impossible to clean it perfectly all the way through on the first try.

Mathis is a boring fire-road that goes up the side of a hill.

Congrats on your climb and what a great RR! You did an awesome job of sharing your stoke so that we all feel your enthusiasm. Now - what happened to the pictures of the "hot chicks from Colorado?"

Whoa whoa whoa...not to take anything away from those who are stoked to clean Cholla, but for experienced mt. bikers it's a bump that takes five minutes to ride. Let's not get all exaggeraty. I'm guessing many STRs cleaned it on their first try. Still - stoke is way more important than anything, and what's perceived as a challenge IS a challenge.

I cleaned Cholla again yesterday (in the heat!), so now I know I can nail it every time. Woohoo!

see, it's all (ok, mostly) mental. I love that feeling of doing something hard the first time.

you have anything else you're trying conquer? good luck!
