So last night I went out onto my local lake and found a huge face above nothing but water that is a couple hundred feet deep. Good hand holds (for the most part, some fell off when I grabbed em) and a nice face although its kinda dirty.

I found its such a different feeling doing that type of climbing, a little more intimidating actually. I got pumped out after about an hour and a half of trying to pick a route and go with it. Then about 35 - 40 feet up hit a crux and just kept falling.

I was wondering if anyone could give any words of wisdom or tips for DWS climbing? Anything at all.

Thanks.
