Goals for Nov

Climb 3x a week 3/3
Climb V8 indoors
Get on a rope @ Westway
Outdoor sport day - Brean/Portland/Swanage - Any londoners on here want to get out?
If/when i get out, at least try a 7b+/7c. Climb a few 7's
Biscuit comp
Run 2x a week 0/2


Mon - Biscuit
A few goes on some of the Red V3-5's i haven't done, a few more ticked. Got on Hendrix Crux - hard V6 - got new beta but tweaked some tendon up my arm. All moves done though. Arm hurts on small pinches but not too much else. Then tried moves on Hendrix roof.
Tue -
Wed -
Thu -  Biscuit
Tried Hendrix Crux but my arm felt funny so left it. Got on Hendrix roof - did in overlapping halves, had a go from start and fell off about 6 moves from the end.
Fri - Onsighted lots of Green Circuit V2-4. Then did Hendrix roof - V6 - but its over 20 moves long so felt more like french 7c or something.
Sat -
Sun -


Good week apart from tendon pain in arm, not sure what it is but will just stay off holds that hurt it I guess.

Happy to do the Hendrix roof in all its horizontal goodness. Be nice to get on rock and try and transfer all this training. Once my arm is feeling better I need to concentrate on trying some harder problems as I've been climbing V6 and not too much higher for years.
 
Seriously weak on running, need to make the time for this.

Outdoor - 27 sessions (not including summer kid herding)
Indoor - 56 sessions


Monday - Difficult one to read what with all the rain recently, the forecast is for grey overcast weather maybe fog. I go to Gorge aux chats (like everyone else it seems). The sky is blue, but itt's still a little damp out of the sun. Do stuff that's dry, some blues/ yellows. My back's still dodgy, so I just play it safe, although I did play around on a red problem that got easier once a spotter appeared from nowhere, didn't finish it but it'll go.

I have a painful toenail, so I decide to have a break and go and do a yellow circuit that I've not done before at Pignon Poteau. I can't find the circuit, so I just repeat some stuff in 95.2. Nice day.

Tuesday - Indoor - My back says 'don't fall' so I try to see how many easy problems I can do I manage 30 something up/downs it takes longer than you'd think.

Wednesday- Friday - Nothing
Saturday - Spend the day building the nephew's Ikea furniture for his new flat. I swear I ache worse than from climbing after.
Sunday - Indoors. My wall had a competition yesterday, so do loads of new problems. I'm feeling back on form and have good climb. Notice that I'm limited in some harder problem due to lack of hip flexibility.

[andy popp]

STG: keep getting out
MTG: good winter training
LTG: nope, still daren't write it down

Mon: brief board session doing circuits, better than last week
Tues: push-ups and crunches
Wed: excellent board session, bouldering, definite improvements, sharper and stronger
Thurs: push-ups, crunches
Fri: work
Sat: Runcorn to try Alec's Arete. Again. I've tried this a fair few times this year, both before and after the FA. Its graded 7A+ but is massively morpho at this grade. I simply can't reach and have to to use crappy intermediates. Do a bit of easy traversing. Warm up on the crux of Blasted Heath, 6C. First go on the arete is good, second is the best yet, third I pull it out of the bag, much to my amazement. YYFY. Do Blasted Heath sitter 6C+. Chuffed, must be the hardest thing I've done this year and is a really great problem.
Sun: push-ups etc.

A funny week - away with work Monday > Wednesday - so hard to maintain any routine.. Having a tiny split tip on Sunday, I had to stay away from WSS this week...

Tuesday: Reading Wall: Good, but Pricey.. http://ukbouldering.com/board/index.php/topic,23210.0.html

Friday: Plantation. Got to grips with Rose and the..... Got completely shut out.. couldnt do the moves in the middle I managed last time - couldnt do any moves from the start (which felt really grim..) Mooched over to Deliverance and had a couple of flails as there were some lads there working it..

Then moved on to Brass Monkey. Man - those first moves are hard - getting LH out fine, but then heels and crapness from that pod in the roof before a desparate slap out to for the right edge... I sustained a few winding flat on the back whumpfs trying that move. Then decided to re-work the opening sequence using a bit of lank and came up with a different way of getting it.



This felt really good - and the film is a wanky edit between the two sections I was working (I got to workign both hands up both sides from the ground but didnt film).. It feels like this problem is game on now - and when fresh and having worked out my sequence it could go.. excellent.

Sunday: Just back from Almscliff - a good scene up there today, with TommyZtone, James, NPou and a few others.. played on the usual problems - wasn't really motivated to work anything but was happy to repeat problems and potter around. A good day

[cheque]

STG- 7A in a session and 7A+ worked on grit this season.

M- Rest.
T- Beastmaker session. Checking my diary to find max hang PBs I see that it's 6 months since I last did any of them- why I think I have any right to moan about weak fingers I don't really know! Equalled some PBs and did one new one. Did some offset pull-ups and max hangs with assistance too. Realised at the end that this is the first time in memory where my fingers haven't hurt afterwards.  New plank PB at the end.
W- Swimming. Same unstructured floundering as ever. Feel like I'm getting it a bit more now though.
T- Notts Depot. Warmed up on circuit board- still fit enough to run 6a and 6b+ circuits together from cold without getting flash pumped. Then set about the pink comp problems, which most other people have finished with and are coated in rubber and chalk. Cocked-up a few easy ones due to feet slipping on polished feet and lost all-important confidence- managed 18 out of 30 before giving it a rest for a go on the woody. Really I need to have a session from fresh on this to taste some success on it and get suitably psyched. Beat plank PB by 30 seconds on return home.
F- Rest. Fingers feel worked but not sore (still a strange feeling!) so there must have been some training value to previous night.
S- Robin Hood's Stride/ Cratcliffe. Good session trying (but not sending) some good hard (for me) problems- The Kid, Grizzly Arete & Dry Wit. All worth a return visit. Had in my head all afternoon that I was saving myself for the Lark at Cratcliffe which would definitely go quite quickly. Despite new beta for the crux move this didn't happen but will definitely go next time  ...or maybe after a bit of board training.
S- Old school strength session- three sets of 10 pullups, 10 bicep curls with 10kg and 20 pushups. Completed all three sets with less grunting and whimpering than last week (when I had to drop a few reps) so satisfying progress.

[Muenchener]

STG (2013): go climbing and actually get up something worthwhile
MTG (Spring 2014) 7a redpoint. Two hundred practice falls by Easter - currently: 10
LTG (<= 5 years): Big alpine rock routes: Totenkirchl west face (Dülfer), Marmolada south face (Vinatzer-Messner)


M: Wall, Thalkirchen. Bouldering. Ticked one of my three current boulder projects, and started another. Asymmetric pullups
T: Alpine approach training: 30 mins step-ups w/12kg rucksack

W: Wall, Thalkirchen. About the weakest wall session I can remember. I PE-circuited my ass off through September and October all for nothing, having blown the Autumn sport climbing season through general organisational incompetence, and now my motivation and endurance at the wall are approaching zero. Desultory routes 5b 5b 5c 6b (dnf) 6a+ (dnf!) 5c 6b. Redeemed the evening by starting the winter falling practice campaign.

T:
F: Knee physio / mobility exercises.

S: Daytime: Climbing (!) Schönhofen. First visit to an area I've been meaning to check out for a while; it has lots of starred routes in the 6b/c range and is supposed to be good on sunny days in winter. Today wasn't sunny and the rock was very cold and slightly damp. Did a few easy routes on rock that was indeed excellent, and was glad to be outside. A useful and enjoyable recce trip.

Evening: Boulderwelt. Around 15 easyish problems to warm up, then projected some harder stuff in styles that aren't my specialist subject such as slopers. Asymmetric pullups.

S: Hillwalking in daylight for a change. Schafreuter, Karwendel. 1250 metres height gain in 2hrs 50. This is 14% slower than last week. Can I possibly have got 14% less fit in a week? Hope not. More likely - I hope - I'm 14% slower on snow than on grass. Winter is coming.

[nai]

Finger and wrist still dodgy:

m nowt
T - weights - TGUs, weighted pullups +10kg, renegade rows, triceps
w - hour puntering at Burbage North, rusty.
T - weights - TGUs & weighted pullups +15kg
F 8.2km run
s - rest
S - weights - TGUs

[TobyD]

Also developed a cold.
 

currently very fashionable these.

[JackAus]

STG: Finger recovery and then V7.
LTG: V11

M: Feel like I did something but can't remember what...
T: Worked late.
W: Developing easy stuff on the beach. Cleaned 4 new lines, climbed 2 of them. Really fun little crag, I've cleaned about 15 lines so far. All fairly easy stuff, think the hardest will be about V4-5 but good to have another local boulder crag. Right next to some really nice quiet beaches too.
T: Morning run. Worked late.
F: Drove over to near Canberra for bouldering festival. Climbed a couple of things, just ended up getting drunk. Made progress on a V6/7 that I'd tried before and had hardly made any moves at the time...
S: Rain and misty... Everything was wet and hungover. Cleaned a few new things including a awesome perfect rising sloper traverse. Think it might be in the range of V9/10. Tried climbing a few things, finger didn't go so well... After a few beers, jumped on a V8/9 with a few other people. Didn't make much progress because of finger but feel as though I'd get quite far if finger was 100%.
S: Drier. Lots more people turned up and a big bunch of new problems were cleaned and sent. Repeated a few things from a few weeks earlier. I cleaned 3 new things and did 2 of them. Then headed off to an already developed, slightly hidden area. Did a bunch of easy stuff the hardest being V5. Got it in a couple of attempts, very fun problem. One of the best I've ever climbed. Last person to leave in the evening, couple hours drive home as a storm came in... Tired.

Barely ran this week. Not happy about that.
Finger doesn't seem to be improving yet but its not getting any worse, so I'm taking it as a good sign... Just wish it would hurry up and get better so I can push myself again... I hate the waiting...

LTG: Font 7b

Life getting in the way last week...

M: Felt like I had a cold all day, nowt in the evening except an early night.
T: Preparations for other half's birthday on Weds - present wrapping, cake making etc
W: Nowt, curry and a few beers.
T: Met overseas colleagues who'd come to Leeds after work for a beer / preparation for a combined presentation on Fri.
F: Out with work in the evening.
S: Hangover, recovery and then beers again in the evening.
S: Leisurely afternoon session at Almscliff, good vibe but still no progress on DWR!

Too much good living and not enough training / climbing going on. Sadly my days are so busy I'm not even getting a chance to pop to the gym on lunch either.

[Ti_pin_man]

STG: indoor Font 7a.
This week has pretty much been me in a holding pattern. 

M - core101/stretch then evening a hard climb
T - core101/stretch
W - medium climb and got myself on a couple of roped routes as well as walking the full length of the slack line
T - rest
F - core101/stretch
S - 3 hours climbing - included completing two routes I'd tried before and failed on - wahoo - little baby steps but still only 6b/6b+
S - 1.5 hours climbing - 6b/6b+

The aim was to push up to a top 7a before Xmas/Dec 31st.  I've done a 6c and consistently  get f6b/f6b+ but need to focus on the top of these grades over the next few weeks.  Gotta keep at it. It surprises me how little the gains are despite really trying over the last two months.  Onwards and upwards.

[T_B]

84.2 Kg

Busy week, just about managed to fit 4 sessions in. Pretty psyched about campus board progress. Wrist niggles have disappeared. Foot not liking moving from 2 crutches to 1, so taking it a bit easier. Cycling to work on Monday (flat pedals!) 

[Muenchener]

The aim was to push up to a top 7a before Xmas/Dec 31st. 

I respect your honesty with regard to climbing a grade properly before you move on. I'm in a similar situation. I've ticked my first 6c+, and have a couple of others on the go that i'm pretty confident I'll do then next time I get on them in decent conditions. Then I could look for a 7a in the same style and get on that, probably with reasonable chances.

"The same style", however, in my case means techy, non-pumpy three bolt boulder problems. On proper routes where things like endurance and the possibility of actually falling off play a role, my level is more like barely 6b. I know full well I would do myself more good in the long run by projecting some 6c-ish things that don't suit me, than by looking for a 7a 3-bolt techy boulder problem.

[Dolly]

M Core weights and some aerobic @ the gym
T Bouldering @ Aberystwyth uni wall. Not great but a) cheap and b) better than not climbing
W
T
F
S Nice long run through local woods and Graves Park
S eatswood and battering myself on the traverse. Really enjoyed this. Its proper butch though. I should really have had a look at Shark's video to see how to do it rather than wasting precious strength trying to copy Seb's lank beta. I think I've got a project.

Nice one. Put an order in for a kneepad  I'm keen to do the Reverse with a view to doing a Circuit. Tommy likes it there too. Can't go this weekend but keen for regular trips after.

Yeah i agree, same here.  I know that in aiming for, a similar to you, techy/non pumpy 7a I might get this goal AND my overall climbing will 'generally' improve. 

then maybe once ticked I will look to bring up my other weaknesses to a better standard.  Thus getting the consistency at grade on all types of climb. 

tbh I know I need a push, a goal, to aim for OR I drop back to a social climber. 

[Evil]

STG - Going to Spain in January, want to be fit for wherever the sun is. Don't have a plan for exactly where yet, so difficult to set a very specific goal right now.
M/LTG - I guess outside 7a and f6c would be good goals.

M - cycling commute 16 miles total. 10 minute fingerboard workout (pullups, l-sits, hangs) and elbow rehab exercises (triceps extensions and stuff with small weights, stretching the giant elastic band, and flattening my arm against the desk) in the evening.
T - cycling commute 16 miles total. Evening climbing - 4+, 5, then did some new routes set for a lead competition thing which seemed between 6a-6b but no grades on the boards yet, did a 6c I've done before, but had one rest, then had a go at a 7a I've been trying for ages (but had a break from trying lately), and managed to get it on the second go. Well pleased with that. Felt easy when I finally did it. Was set by Steve McClure though, so I think not a soft giveaway as some of the 7as I manage to do are! Set of 10 pullups in celebration.
W - cycling commute 16 miles total. Lunchtime 5k in the park (27m28sec). 10 minute fingerboard action in the evening, plus 5 l-sit pullups (maximum ever is 6).
T - cycling commute 16 miles total. Bouldering at the wall in the evening - New set did some V1-3 problems, 3xV3s (flashed 2, 2 goes for the 3rd), and did one V4 after 2 goes (but watched someone else do it in between, and copied their beta!). Got to last move of another V4, but last move is horrible. Eurgh. Got halfway on a V4-6 problem. Did some moves on the steep board, and a bit of campusing.
F - bodyweight circuit at home (jump squats, pushups, dumbbell rows and stuff). Evening climb at the wall - Did 6 routes (up to 6b+, that I've done before) before my partner had to go, and I bouldered for a bit, but found it pretty hard getting into the bouldering, and didn't really get much done. A couple of friends showed me their projects on the steep board though, which is handy, as I'm a bit rubbish at making stuff up. Went home and did the elbow exercises.
S - long walk with the dog - 8.1 miles. Evening 10 minutes on the fingerboard while cooking, plus some toes-to bar sets.
S - shorter 4 miles with the dog. Climbed in the afternoon - did 6 routes again before partner left - 6a, 6b+, 6a+, 6b, 6b+, 6b+, 6a+. I bouldered for a bit, repeating some things and trying to get some moves done on a V6 and V5 problem. I don't think I can do them completely, but I managed to get some moves done. Then did some training on the steep board, and finished with campusing. I could do 1-3-4 today with right arm leading, but not left (i.e. can't campus 2 rungs locking off with right arm). Did some other drills that demonstrated that the right arm is definitely still weaker than left.

Today (Monday) I got measured by some sports science students. I'm 18.2% fat. The glorious measurement of dry lean weight (cut of meat?) was 12.1. I had it done a year ago, and was 18.5% and 11.9kg, so barely any change.

I'm 5ft-7ish and did the middle section with a heel out right - no knee bars were needed (as we accidentally left the pad at home).  I may have a used a toe hook near the knee bar part to stop swinging off - but I can't quite remember.  Hope this helps.

[Dolly]

Cheers - don't think I'm that strong though - as in I'll need the knee bar to be able to do it

[iain]

Managed to not post first attempt 

In summary, 3 sessions at the wall, all were decent, non-climbing visitors at the weekend. The end.

[Sasquatch]

Old STG - Local abandoned sport routes (LASR's) until the weather quits. The weather finally quit.
New STG - Consistant training. Drop weight back to 170lbs (at 171.3 Sunday), and try to maintain 170 through the winter....
MTG - Winter training consistency, then local abandoned sport routes once weather comes back.
LTG - To Bolt or Not to Be(8b+), and Mandala(v12)

M - 1hr conditioning class with Wife, then worked on Home wall rebuild
T - Home wall rebuild
W - Assist coach the local kids climbing team, Foot On Cmapusing PE session with kids
Th - Home wall rebuild
F - New wall done.  I now have a moonboard.  Tried some of the routes shown online.  Loads of dynos, and stupid moves graded in the 6b-6C range.  Really shut down by everything.... Either having a REALLY bad day, the problems are sandbagged, or I'm a weak punter who can't actually climb hard......
S - Home conditioning workout
S - Home wall again.  Starting to learn the wall/holds better.  Able to climb many problems in the 7B/+ range and a couple of 7C's.  Still shut down on a few 6C's though.  I think they're just sandbagged. Finished putting up campus board and fingerboard at home. 

Really excited about the new home training set up.  A little bit of crap to get rid of and I've got a 12x8 42degree wall, with a 3ft vertical headwall, FB, Campus Board, rings, weights, treadmill, and kegerator.

  Plus an old climbing partner is back in town and psyched to train, so I've got a regular training partner.  If I can avoid getting hurt, next summer could be.......

[webbo]

Mon. Board working problems using the new holds, did a couple that I couldn't do last week. Repeated an old problem 1st go which I tried as a bit of benchmark for the new stuff.
Tue. Nothing.
Wed. Dumbbell workout before work. 1 hr turbo session after work.
Thu. Nothing.
Fri. Board mirror session. Put on some screw on footholds.
Sat. Dumbbell workout. Bike 2hrs 50 mins, same ride last year took 3 hrs 5 mins.
Sun. Board doing old problems using new screw on footholds. Lots of cutting loose. Bike 1hr 30 mins.

[duncan]

STG: Recover from finger tweak. Nearly there I think.
MTG: RP 7b (this winter);
LTG: Long routes in USA summer 2014. OS E5 (summer 2014).

73.4kg

M - Shoulder stability. Stretches.
T - Shoulder stability. Stretches.
W - Shoulder stability. Stretches. Brief foot-on fingerboard.
T - Pull-ups. Shoulder stability. Stretches.
F -
S - Hangs on beam in rented apartment.
S - Foot-on fingerboard.

Tweak improving: tolerating pull-ups and open-hand hangs on big holds.

Coughing green stuff all week and long weekend with the family in Parma so no running, ‘building site fitness’, or any other kind of fitness. You have to keep doing something though, even if it is only a tiny amount, if only to keep the habit of exercise.

Have done very little climbing for months now and I’m a bit heavy even by winter standards. Will need to take it carefully when I start again.

[Muesli]

Bit of an enforced lay off last week due to wall reroute and home commitments


weight stable at 80.4 kg  weekly average,


only one trip to the wall and only four days cycle commute. five days core and shoulder exercises, two finger board sessions.




This week should have more wall opportunities so will aim for four wall sessions and drop a finger-boarding. Aim for full week cycle as long as the snow doesn't intervene.
