Bummed

Pretty bummed after tonights session. Couldn’t send the 5.10c I did in my previous session. I had asked my belayer to give me a bit more slack this time as there was very little slack in the previous session (allowed me to cheat a little by sitting slightly into my harness)! 

Further more I was quite tired with only 5.5 hours of sleep the night before. I spent most of the night climbing 5.9s. Putting the grade aside, it was nice sending wall after wall; focusing on technique and tactics rather than performance.

Climbing partner

Super hot day at the gym. I felt strong on the boulders and was happy with my technique development. After I dropped down from the top of a problem, a voice called out “Nice work mate”. I turned behind me and saw a climber sitting on the bench giving me an approving nod!

We introduced each other and had a good barn about climbing. Turns out he is also new to the gym and climbs on the same days as I do! I’m excited that I’ve found a climbing partner and I’m looking forward to training on some of the longer routes in the gym!

The climbing begins!

I started my gym membership today – woohoo!! I was so psyched I went straight to the gym after work and put my name down for a year!

To be continued (so tired)…
