Much apologies for not not posting much this week, its just incredibly hard to motivate ones self to write about indoor climbing! Nevertheless a few important developments have occurred over the past week that are definitely worth have a write about. Firstly, there was a charity event at Boulders on Tuesday. The aim; to climb the height of Snowdon in the fastest time possible. Our team consisted of 6 members, Olly, Ryan, Owen, harry, Mark and I. Overall we did 18 pitches each on toprope (except Olly who did 16) and in a record time of 25 minutes. This didn't stop the army twits from beating us (some cheating me thinks) however. Good fun!
I've been hitting the walls hard this previous week. On Wednesday, Mark and I had an uber tough session of lead climbing quickly progressing onto 7a, 7b, 7b+ and 7c+ overhangs. My proudest moment on this work out was onsighting a 6c+ lead! This was followed on Thursday by another hardcore work out, climbing 8 6cs one after another. The highlight of which was an onsight of a 6c arete; constantly tenuous with some very dodgy clipping positions and some contorted body features, it proved to be an awesome heart-in-mouth lead.
Thus it seems that all that training on the bouldering wall has finally paid off!
Now to transfer it to outdoors, when it finally stops raining,
if that ever happens!
Oh and I'm not impressed with this new series of Skins, it seems to have become some stupid slapstick comedy; disappointed!
