Synopsis
A pilot reported loss of aircraft control during landing resulted in a runway excursion.
Narrative
After landing on Runway XX at ZZZ in high crosswinds (60 degrees off runway heading 24 knots with gusts to the mid 30's); I was unable to maintain directional control while rolling out and ran off the right (west) side of the runway into the grass. Contributing factors were high sustained crosswinds speeds; plus higher gusts. When I realized I was not able to correct the direction of travel back towards the runway centerline; I applied full braking and was able to bring the aircraft to a stop just off the paved surface of the runway. No damage or injury resulted.Human Performance Considerations:I believe the wind conditions exceeded my personal minimums and were at the limit of my current skillset. While I was able to get the aircraft on the ground without much trouble; I believe I released my cross wind correction (right alieron) too early and also had excessive back pressure on the yoke resulting in minimal weight on the nose wheel. This resulted in my inability to maintain directional control of the aircraft while rolling on the runway and ultimately to roll off the right edge of the runway before getting the aircraft completely stopped.
