7A:    15/50
7A+:  6/40
7B:    2/30
7B+:  1/20
7C:    1/10

Stretches: 4/4

Mon: Anstey's with Mark. Managed to do all the moves on a 7C+ but it's going to be a beast to link. Pretty psyched!
Tues: Session at the Bunker. Despite feeling a little ill did a few hard problems on the systems board.
Wed: Session at the Bunker, can't really remember what I did.
Thurs: Rest day. Stretches.
Fri: Session at the Bunker, managed to do some shoulder work and actually climbed a few proper problems! Stretches.
Sat: Home board and Beastmaker session, as well as pull-ups. Stretches
Sun: Bovey Woods - everything was wet so didn't really climb anything. Psyched to come back soon and get on some hard stuff though! Stretches.  :)

An alright week in terms of training but need to get outdoors more! Crimp strength is still quite weak.

Hope the leg exercises are helpful, mainly it feels as if I have to do something. Mt Watkins and the L side of El Cap are slabs basically aren't they?

I view the step ups 'n' stuff more as a means of not being already knackered before I even start climbing. And/or not being so fucked after twelve hours that I forget how to rig an ab, and die.

Both of those too, although they mostly apply to trips beyond this summer. Also jumaring is very leg-intensive, if done properly. But it's mainly to keep me occupied with something vaguely constructive.

Sorry folks, been absent for last two or three weeks. Summary

Spent couple of weeks pre Font fngerboarding and a couple of sessions on a project line with a frustratingly damp hold. Had a weekend in the UK meeting up with friends which was nice.
Font trip was nice but climbing wise not a classic. A combination of me not really having any targets or goals, warm humid damp weather and the unsurprising fact that hanging from a BM is good for finger strength but bad for actually climbing. Didn't really get into any sort of gear until the last day. Nice pastries though...

I'll do a proper posting for this week, honest.
