Friday of last week (24th), the morning after flying home from the US, I went to try one of the two projects I've recently cleaned in the roadside quarry at Harmers, another two excellent highballs in the making. I was pleased to make some progress on the upper half of my preferred one, doing all the moves and started to feel quite optimistic. What happened this week explains why I'm going to start posting here again, which will hopefully keep me a bit focused.

Aims: at least one of the two Harmers projects, perhaps both. Not much of an ambition I know (and I do have some other targets, largely in Cheshire), but realistically climbing is only one part of my life nowadays - and nowhere near the biggest. Its likely to stay that way too. But I'm still motivated to do these projects and will be made up if I can get up them, combined with getting a bit further afield when I can (I've been enjoying making use of r-man's new Lancs guide and was pleased to do Hank's 7A+ before going to the US)

M - Go to Harmers early before work, conditions are excellent and I'm excited to try the start having started to get the upper bits sorted. I get totally shut down and the reason why is obvious: I'm too weak, the sequence is obvious but I simply can't pull hard enough, particularly on a small left-hand crimp. Perhaps not too surprising considering I've barely climbed or trained all winter. Almost as bad, I struggle to make any meaningful links on the upper bit. It's obvious I won't get up this thing without some effort.
T - really for the first time all winter others are keen to use my board and we all reconvene for our once normal Tuesday evening session. I am predictably pretty weak - having your own board makes benchmarking easy. But a good session is had and I finish with some tentative hangs to see where I am on that, as well as holding locked positions on the board. My session fitness is terrible and I hit a wall quite quickly
W - Not as sore as I expected. Perhaps I hadn't tried hard enough? Press-ups and planks in the office at lunchtime.
T - Workshop all day but finger boarding session in the evening, both repeaters and a few max hangs. I definitely need crimp strength for the project.
F - press-ups and planks in the office again.
S - go to Longridge for the first time, with Tomtom. I'm impressed but it is miserable, with a bitter wind blowing squally rain onto us the whole time. I get totally shut down. I'm probably feeling the effects of upping the activity level this week, and it is impossible to get or stay warm, but still ... Anyway, I'm sure I'll be back.
S - going to rest today.

It has rained quite a bit in the last few days so the projects may be too damp for a bit but I'm hoping I'll begin to notice at least some difference next time I get a chance to try again.

Decent week, plenty of indoors and a day out midweek

M.
T. Wall session in the afternoon, new reds at BBC
W. Wall session in the evening, finished off red circuit
T. Day out at Churnet. Did a bunch of 7as, decent day though nothing hard was sent.
F. Wall session, spent some time working a few projects.
S.
S.

Heading to the Pass tomorrow for another go on Jerry's Roof, came very close a few months back. My wall sessions have been pretty relaxed lately after a good spell of fingerboarding. Gonna start a couple of weeks back on the campus board (try and get the 1 4 7 - was oh so close!) before starting to work on PE for sport season.

[the_dom]

Not a great week - some good days of climbing, but too much resting, drinking and eating awfully. Still, I was in Font for a good proportion of it, so not to bad a bad week. Basically, I think I was tired from the previous week.

Mon: Rain. Rest day.
Tues: Started off at Roche Aux Sabots, warming up on the brilliant Chapeau Chinois and then put down Jeu du Toit using the 'recommended' sequence. As a note on the grade (call me an anti-J-star), it's not 7A. I've done enough 7As around the world to call it 7A+, easily. Possibly even 7B. Afterwards, we went to Isatis, where I came close to le Cachou, did Abdolobotomy first go and flashed Lapin au Canard. A really good day.
Wed: Exhausted. Went to Isatis so my mate could finish off Lapin.. I tried to warm up on FuryAx and should have done it, but didn't. Then went to Apremont to show my mate l'Egoiste, but by that point I was too tired and grumpy to even bother with it. Given the forecast for the next 2 days, I acknowledge that the climbing portion of my trip was over. Hurrumph. 
Thurs: Rain. Alcohol.
Fri: Started travelling back to Cape Town.
Sat: Got home, went for a surf to wash the travel dust off. Was surprisingly fun and I surfed surprisingly well.
Sun: Morning surf. PM hangboard, pushups and mobility.

Font was briliant. I did 16 7's and, despite feeling really tired towards the middle of the second week (which I think was a result of a lack of climbing in 2014 and 2015), really felt like I improved on almost a daily basis. What a great place. I'm already making tentative plans for a return later in the year.

Looking forward, May is going to be a tough month, climbing-wise - I start a new job (my first in a decade) and I'm going to need to commit real time to it. That said, I have a solid plan based on lots of fingerboarding, kettlebell work and trying to get out on the weekends. I hope it works.

[Muenchener]

STG: Go climbing
MTG (2015): 7b redpoint
            Beastmaker 5A routine: 93.0%
            Muscle, Up
            Sautanz
LTG (<= 5 years): Big alpine rock routes: Totenkirchl West Face (Dülfer),  Marmolada south face (Vinatzer, Messner)

In which bank holiday weather completely puts paid to a planned long weekend in the Frankenjura, and in theory I should have enough experience to accept this philosophically.
 

M: Bike to work 25km
   Knee physio / mobility / core 40 mins: have been neglecting these things lately.
T:
W: Wall,  Thalkirchen. Should have been driving to the Frankenjura this evening. A desultory indoor bouldering session was not a satisfactory substitute.
T:
F: Bank Holiday. Raining. Not going to the wall today, in the hope that it might not rain for a bit tomorrow.
   Knee,  mobility,  kettlebells,  core: one hour.
S: Not actually raining, but still overcast and cold so we didn't think there would be much chance of finding dry rock. In hindsight the afternoon was better so this was probably a mistake. Instead checked out a new local wall at Freimann.
Routes 5b, 5b, 5b, 6a, 6b, 6a, 6b+, 6a+, 7a, coffee, 6a, 6c, 5b, 5b, beer.
Wall was good, as these things go. With a new partner who turns out to be relaxed company and a competent belayer. So could have been a worse day in the circumstances.
S: Rain resumed. Boulderwelt 7b+ circuit project ticked. yyfy I suppose 
   Wet bike ride to & from the wall makes a useful contribution to the general air of fuck-this-ness

[fried]

And you got out before the weekend Dom.

Lucky me, I have a 4-day weekend.

M - Nothing
Tu - Indoors, crap, hot, feeling weaker than usual.
W- nothing
Th- Having jiggled my schedule, I plan to get up at 6am, drop the missus off at work and get out to the forest before the forecasted rain starts around midday. Unfortunately it's raining at 6am, so I go back to sleep. Indoor, better session, back into the groove.

Fr - Non'stop rain
Sa - Non-stop rain. Started a BM session, but kept greasing off, cleaned my board instead.
Su - Rain. Indoors, better again, work a lot of steep stuff that I'm crap at, fall off a lot but feel like I had a workout.

Hope nobody wasted money or time in the forest this weekend.

[jwi]

STG:
Having a good time in Verdon. Don't freak out due to gaz...
Hanging 6mm edge for 10s on my adjustable fingerboard.
Getting back to 20+ pullups.
MTG:
Flashing a few non-vertical white boulderprobs in the gym.
Onsight one 8a or five 7c+'s this year. Preferably both.
Do something fairly challenging on Naranjo in August.
LTG: TBD

M: nada
T: Pull-ups & fingerboards at lunch, bouldering in the gym at night. Hangboard 7mm, 10s x 2. 6 pullups with 3s pause at 5 angles on the way down.
W: zilch
T: Pull-ups & fingerboards at lunch, bouldering in the gym at night. Same performace on fingerboards and pullups as Tues.
F: rien
S: Climbing in Couyrac, St. Antonin, warm and very humid. Steep very nice sustained 6c+ o/s. Nice 7a+ with hard boulder start o/s. Random fairly short route failed o/s at 2nd bolt. HD to top. 1st try, fell on very last move when heel hook slipped. Found out that said route is 8a in guidebook. 2nd try, fell at 3rd bolt. Did it on 4th attempt with no power to spare. The rock felt like soap. Climbed the 7a+ again to take down draws for partner.
S: Nothing

Getting better and better on heel hooks, but they still have a tendency to unexpectedly pop. Haven't really figured out how to improve on this.

Progression:
Weight: 71-72 kg
Estimated pullups: 15-16
10s crimp: 7 mm with some margin
Overhanging white boulderprobs flashed in the gym: 0
8a's onsighted this year: 0*
7c+'s onsighted this year: 2*
------
* I'm taking guidebook grades for everything. For me its impossible to be objective close to my max, I always think everything I manage is soft. Maybe they are.

Changed my mind and did got to the wall again today

Decent week, plenty of indoors and a day out midweek

M.
T. Wall session in the afternoon, new reds at BBC
W. Wall session in the evening, finished off red circuit
T. Day out at Churnet. Did a bunch of 7as, decent day though nothing hard was sent.
F. Wall session, spent some time working a few projects.
S.
S. Another light wall session, flashed a few v6s at BC, feeling pretty strong, though trying not to tire myself out for tomorrow

Heading to the Pass tomorrow for another go on Jerry's Roof, came very close a few months back. My wall sessions have been pretty relaxed lately after a good spell of fingerboarding. Gonna start a couple of weeks back on the campus board (try and get the 1 4 7 - was oh so close!) before starting to work on PE for sport season.

[nai]

Goals:

Spring - HFC & Short Chimes (+ Why Me?, Let The Tripe Increase, Stone The Loach)
Summer - Body Machine & Ext, Cornices?
Autumn - Raindogs, Full Chimes.

M 3rd rest day, feeling restless and ready to go tomorrow.  Eve - mate bails with an injury.

T - Wake up feeling wrecked (despite 3 rest days, wtf?), bad mood. Decide to head to Rubicon to see if I can still do Kudos. Do it in a few goes, feels easier than last year. Need to save skin so go home to train.

AnCap 2x5 reps 50s on, 2:00 rest. Strong on 1st set, faded last 3 reps 2nd set.

w rest

Th - Rubicon, HFC. Confident it would go but no cigar. Worked the top and it felt fine.  First two redpoint attempts super sketchy remembering subtleties; third ok; shouldacouldawoulda done it fourth try but denied by a hand pinging off when feeling fairly fresh at the crimps; fifth was more in hope that expectation, made break ok but lost concentration and forgot to use the slot moving out of it.  Best session on it by far though, three times to the crimps, only been further once in 6 or more sessions, feels a lot closer than last year, just two more moves.....


F - Tired and very sore skin (so had to stick to wood) but Sat was a family day so had to spur myself into action...
2x10 mins Aero,
foot on campusing 2 x 8 (1:40 on/off). Failed late on in reps 6,7,8 2nd set.

S rest

Sun -
2x10 mins Aero,
AnPow Boulder-With-Rests 4 sets x 4 problems, quick rest between reps, 10 mins between sets.  felt like a 4x4, maybe not intense enough.
Foot on campusing x8 (1:40 on, 1:20 rest), just about completed.

[Schnell]

Amazing how internationally consistent the rain appears to be this lovely bank holiday weekend... it's pissing here in Dublin too

STG: rehab injuries and attain some modicum of form for a sport climbing trip to Tarn in June
MTG: continue rehabbing injuries for the forseeable

M. indoor session with finger feeling tweaky. get pissed off and decide to be ultra conservative with rehab from now on. this means all training is going to be either warming up on jugs, campussing/FB on slopers and mid2 openhanding or easy aerocap.
T. easy aerocap session, no tweaks.
W. start getting apprehensive about the miserable forecast for the weekend.
T. indoor session, same as monday. no tweaks.
F. rain begins, all long weekend plans get called off.
S. cycle to the wall in heavy rain, decent session with lots of aerocap inc. three laps on 7a+ circuit
S. swim in the morning and then do some work, some bank holiday weekend.

Good week until the washout. It does look like I'll get out tomorrow though which is some consolation. Overall the strict regimen is benefitting the fingers, just have to continue until France in June. This may be more challenging when climbing outside, just have to keep the discipline.

[Sasquatch]

STG: Maintain Psych, and drop weight. Either local boulder or route projects depending on weather.
MTG: Bolt new route projects, have a couple of promising walls to recon.  1-4-7 & 1-arm pullup
LTG: To Bolt...

M- Boulder outside for a very short session at a super close boulder 14 problems up to 7C in 45min, then home for a MAW session.  Good session - 3x250, 2x252.   Fingers a bit slick, but not too bad.   
T-Nothing
W-run-3mi
T-MAW session - very bad session, could match Mondays, so went to bigger hold and heavier weight to work on should strength. 
F- Run 5mi - too much drinking and up way too late.  Make decision as a result of this night to lay off booze for next several weeks, maybe the next couple of months. 
S-Loads of Physical Labor.  Building new planter boxes for garden.  Lots of hefting 6 x 6 x 8ft timber for planters.
S- MAW - SOLID new PB.  5 x 257lbs Previous best day was 3x255.  Other strength work, iron crosses, levers, 1-arm pullups(also a PB - 3x3 at 161lbs).  Also getting really close to a solid front lever.  Can hold horizontal for about 1-2 seconds then hips sag about 3-4 inches and can hold for another 5-6 seconds. Plus loads of shoveling for planter boxes.  Big and Awesome day!!! 

Bummed not to be able to really get outside since we've had great weather, but happy with training progress, and hopeful that I'll get a chance soon enough.

T - School lunch. Mainly 50 degree. Tried pink problem with foothold I'd missed. Got closer.
W -
T - Foundry lunch. Circuits. 4 x 20 moves with 1 min rest, 10 mins, then 3 x 30 moves with 1min30 secs rest.
f - Foundry lunch. 40 mins laddering.
S -
S - Decided to wait until evening then wasn't sure where to go. In the end went to Rubicon and it was dry and breezy. Warmed up and re-familiarised myself with Press Low Left. Pretty poor performance. Generally felt like I couldn't crimp so sacked it off and went to meet Dave at Minus 10. Messed around on various eliminates as you do and did Not Ned's problem, though later realised we'd not done the correct finishing move.

Been somewhat full-on at work, so happy to tick over during the week. First proper lime session - need to get back on the F/board and force myself to crimp.

M:
T: Crag X on the way from Hull > Manc. Met up with Plattsy. Great session - worked out the nitty gritty on Zippys and got to matching the high sloper on Jericho (once - with alot of shouting).
W: Gentle play with assisted one armers..
Th: Back to Crag X. Zippys now in two overlapping sections (just need to be fresh on it), but couldnt quite get to high point on Jericho. So much stronger on it, but just can't quite seem to get my body position right for the match. It'll come... Wandered down to see Nai and Haydn playing with ropes at Rubicon afterwards..
F: Played with some assisted one armers more seriously..
Sa: Grr.. the day the weather was 'supposed' to be good. Rubbish. Had to call off at the last min a Blackstones visit - and in the end went to Craig y Longridge with Andy Popp instead. It was grim. Cold, windy, light rain (that dried about as fast as it fell) made for an uncomfortable experience - and probably didnt help conditions. We were both shut down by a 6C+ 'crimp ladder' (forgotten name) and I enjoyed getting stuck into Big Marine. Had problems sticking the slopey hold to match/go for the slot with the right. Looking (since) at videos looks like a high left foot would help...
Su: rest. eat to much etc...

Last went to Burns Unit at Northern General on Weds and they sent me packing with a bag of medical sundries as only my front two fingers need dressing now. Sonia has been skilful at changing the dressing each day but ignores my suggestion of dressing up in a nurse's uniform. Hand is healing well but the the backs of the mid two fingers is still gammy so maybe another week of dresssings. Kept stretches up and range of movement is pretty good. Next back at Burns Unit on Wednesday.

Done a bit of wine guzzling this week. Not missed the climbing too much and not done any training since the 20th but starting to think how to get back in the saddle. Might start with some easy fingerboarding this week to wake fingers. When bandage is off I'll start back at High Tor to get trad head back, maybe a bit of Stanage soloing to rekindle the fire and resume on Anger Management 8a+ at Tor. Will need to avoid things with slots like Weedkiller as backs of fingers will be tender for a while.

[Luke Owens]

M: Rest

T: Llanymynech - Back on Nomad Wall, had a no warm up redpoint putting the clips in on "Nomad" (7a+) felt pretty good and made it through the top crux and got flashed pumped into oblivion on the final couple of moves to easy ground, took a good whipper.

Thought I'd ruined the session getting so boxed but had another go, got 1/3 of the way up the wall and got into this really good mind state I don't think I've been in before on a route, felt really relaxed, confident and happy. This helped me not over grip and climb really fluidly/dynamic, and got me to the chains with no pump! Really surprised and happy.

W: Llanymynech - Back on Nomad Wall, had a no warm up onsight attempt on "The Screaming Skull" (7b). Got half way through the midheight crux and went for a non-hold which was about an inch left of a good edge, another massive whipper. I didn't get pumped either so wasn't too annoyed. Climbed the rest of it and worked out better beta for crux.

Had a fading light redpoint and stupidly forgot my headtorch, did the crux easy and pulled up some slack to clip and realised I forgot to extend the draw I had planned to extend, punter! Dropped the rope and carried on going and got pumped trying to figure out where to clip from and fell off. Got back on, climbed to the top and did the top 15m on top rope in the dark about 5 times without rest as punishment training.

T: Rest

F: Rest

S: Forced rest due to the weather, had planned to go out, couldn't face training at home and re-planned to get out on Sunday.

S: Woke up to rubbish weather despite better forecast. Managed to get out later and went back to Llanymynech. The Screaming Skull was wet so got on "Strawberry Tubin" (7b). Was pretty wet but managed to onsight all the moves going bolt to bolt and drying it as I went. Got it wired and pulled the rope for a redpoint and it threw it down and soaked the route. Demoralising wet clipstick ascent to get the clips out.

Did 35 mins Aerocap when I got home while being annoyed at the weather.

Stamina is improving and feeling a lot fitter this week. Although I didn't tick the 2 7b's due to lack of light/weather I'm confident they should go next session.

Goal is still fitness for Diamond (August) / Ceuse (September)

[petejh]

I heard conditions were good at LPT yesterday afternoon/eve? Good luck on the proj today!

That doesn't surprise me much. I would have gone but my partner bailed due to the preceding downpour.

Nomad wall sounds well-good, never managed to get on any of those routes.

[JackAus]

STG: More V7s. Sub 75kg.
MTG: V8. Fear Factory List. 5/10 done.
LTG: V11.

Still pretty wet everywhere... Most of the week, still pissing it down.

M: Lindfield. Bunch of new stuff and 25 problems in about 90min.
T: Frontline. Rubbish session. Fell off a warm up and cut wrist and leg open. Lots of blood. Only did 2 new (for me) problems and neither hard.
W: Rest. Start of the rain.
T: St Leonards. No work, big session. Warm ups to V5ish then made harder problems. Finish with alot of campussing and fingerboarding. 1-5 on crimps, 1-3-5-7-9 on crimps, nearly 1-4-7 on jugs, 1-5-7 on jugs. 1 arm stuff on edge, now good upward movement. Lots of front levers and core exercises.
F: Sunnyside. No work, pissing with rain but its a big cave. Still, horrible spoogy conditions. Started working Combat Wombat (easiest thing here at V11) like a 7m roof climb. So sequency. Done most of the moves on it, avoiding all knee bars. Would take some serious working. Don't know that I'm *that* inspired.
S: Rain, rain, rain. Fucking pissed off at it now. St Leonards. Not a massive session but did usual, made my own problems then moved to campus board and finger board. Pretty decent campus session besides my skin hurting from Sunnyside.
S: Still raining. St Peters. Last minute decision to head across the other side of Sydney. Not a massive session but good to climb different stuff. Still ended up making my own problems though. Not found any setting in Aus that I like yet. Finished up with front levers, peg board, campus board. Did 1 arm campus on juggy sloper rungs. Been trying this for a while at St Leonards, much harder there for some reason.

Sick and tired of all this rain. May is at least looking drier and cooler. Need to get back on rock...

[webbo]

Mon. Board struggled due to being tired from the WE. Got a workout.
Tue. Out for a meal,wife's birthday.
Wed. Bike 1 hour half mile intervals slightly downhill did 5,I thought I was going chuck at one point.
Thu. Board repeating stuff that I'd done as projects flashed some fail on others. Not bad session.
Fri. Nothing.
Sat bike went for a ride the stop to watch The Tour du Yorkshire, then rode some more 72.16 miles 4hrs 20 mins riding time.
Sun. Board hardship mirror session, pleased with this given my long ride yesterday. Later when it dried up. Interval session 20 secs on 40 secs off x 5 3 sets.
I feel I'm slowly getting back to where I was before Christmas on my board. It still feels steeper than it used to be.

[shurt]

Well as its Monday night I'll include today as it seems a nonsense to not - it features actual climbing outdoors which is no bad thing.

STG: finish Still Waters at Cheddar (can do all moves as of 2 wks ago) or any 7b for that matter
MTG: finish Bullworker at Brean Down after falling off top move 3 times in December
LTG: E6, 8a route, surpass previous best of V7

M: 3 sets on fingerboard, 5 mins rest in between
T: worked till middle of night
W: 3 sets on fingerboard, 5 mins rest in between
T: 2 x 20 press ups, 2 x 10 pull ups, minimal rest in between PU's
F: 6 x 20 bench presses of son (2 and a bit stone) over the course of the day which he seemed to enjoy, 2 x 20 press ups
S: rested back hurt
S: rested back hurt. partner cracked it, felt bit better.
M: got out to Cheddar in PM before the rain and ended up at The Remnant as north side banned for Bank Holiday. Did the warm ups (6b and 6b+) which are total sand bags. At least 1 or 2 grades out. Then thought would try Skullduggery (7b) which I'd had a brief top rope on a couple of years back. Got all the clips in and worked out the moves which took a little while then lowered and managed to do the meat of the crux section in one go. Had a good rest then got within a few moves of the top which was really pleasing. Had a shorter rest then a terrible go, felt knackered, it was home time.

Feel like there is some good progress although annoyed I didn't get the route cracked today. I've only ever done 1 7b previously so getting that close was great...   

[kelvin]

Need to up the cardio in readiness for Salbit Sudgrat this summer.

Mon - Rest
Tue - Big Rock. Chucked myself at the V4-6 circuit and one problem in particular, that works some weaknesses and seems relevant to limestone. Did lots of V0/1 when resting. Worked a sequence out for the first five hand movements and nailed it to there once but faded rapidly after that. Great session.
Wed - Pinnacle. Ropes. Did various amounts of laps on stuff from 5+ to 6b. Tired.
Thu - Yoga. Rolled the hell out of my legs.
Fri - Messed about on the fingerboard, mostly pullups and lock offs. Felt stronger.
Sat - Anston Stones. First time there and loved it, will definitely go back. Worked stuff up to 7A. In the evening went to Broomgrove wall in Shef with Dave T - proper crimpy. Didn't stay long but nice to see what others train on.
Sun - Run/walked along Stanage Edge, there and back from North Lees campsite. Plenty of people bouldering around 4pm but I was too knackered to walk back up.

Maximum effort on Tue and Sat, mileage on Wed. Lot's of stretching and rolling going on, which is helping the legs slowly. The run was a pretty poor effort but it felt so good to be out there again. A few twinges from the medial but nothing too bad. Did throw a heel hook with it in the woods but instantly thought better of it - no where need ready for that nonsense yet, if ever. A really good week as it happens.

 resume on Anger Management 8a+ at Tor.

I'm keen to get on this and will soon have lots of mid week time.
