In reply to hedgehog77:
You may be one of those climbers who is better suited to a steady progression though the grades. Maybe ease the pace that you push at and do more in a comfortable grade range. It's more mileage, less stress and maybe more enjoyable if you are experiencing things that make you feel emotionally uncomfortable in the way that you are climbing at present.
Personally, that moment when I get the peace of concentration is what I like most about climbing.
