I definitely have been! I did figure out through some research that I was running at about 60% of the needed pressure in the rear shock. Trails are wet and muddy from a lot of rain yesterday, so hopefully by tomorrow I'll be able to hit it again with the correct set up. I thought I just needed to get used to the "excessive bouncing" during the pedal stroke. I never bottomed it out, not really even close thankfully. Should definitely improve the climbing feel.
