S Back to eatswood with progress on the traverse. Still feels hard though
Goals:MTG: front lever by start-2014LTG: * under review *Third full week of the winter training season, though the weather has yet again become unseasonably good and I have been messing about outside. Mon: at the Hive with AndyR, following him around closely whilst trying to understand how a urbane mesomorph like him can burn me off at the boulders so effortlessly. Unsurprising conclusion: because he has more power, more flexibility and better technique.

This morning I feel a little better but still have scratchy throat, really sore when I cough. Anybody got any good links to climbing with colds/manflu?

Here's my sequence:Sit start righthand in crack LH on edge RF on block LF on small hold Cross RH to edge and crimp big move LH to flake RF up share on flake LF in nick RF on smear RH cross thru to crimp LH to hidden slopey jam Right Heel on flake (can be painful if you don't tape up your ankle) LF on foothold on rib LH to sidepull edge on rib and bump again to crease LF far scoop RF near scoop (quite a lot of bodytension required) LF to kneebar LH to edge RHeel in low niche RH match edge LH to jug RH to jug Shake LH to small edge under roof release kneebar keeping foot on (easy to swing off) LH to jug on rail at back feet up to to get Right Heel on jug in front of right hand RH to edge on lip then again to lovely sloping crease LF into pocket in roof LH stretch to right side of finger rail and again to middle part twist LF into pocket RF to shallow pocket/scoop in roof LF bridge down to bulge RF cross underneath to high edge LF to last square cut foothold RH drop to match then rock up LH to break
It's that time of the year.

Plus your more susceptible to injury, etc. If you can, get outside, go for a walk, breathe some cold air. Deadhanging once your on the way back to health seems ok, doesn't really put too much strain on anything but fingers.
