You probably know someone who feels comfortable climbing on vertical walls, but as soon as there is a roof or the wall starts to kick back, they flail. The most common reaction to this is “I can’t do overhangs, they’re too hard” and they go right back to the vertical climbs. Seemingly in the hopes that, on some magical day, overhangs will become “easy”.
M: New Manchester Depot. Decided to get a 3 month pass - partly as I prefer to do lots of smaller wall sessions than fewer long ones - see how that pays off. Trashed after an hour
S: Cave - Felt pretty rubbish/weak warming up but once warm felt good. Short term goal ticked by doing LWT from the Horizontal Shothole (7A). Felt hard previously but sorted all kinds of micro beta which helped. Did the 4 moves from the proper start too and managed to link them into the a few moves on the shothole start at the end of the session. Just need to link in the 4 hard moves into the whole thing now.
STG (end Jan): Rebuild base (route and bouldering pyramids) do a load of good routes and have fun in El Chorro. MTG (end Mar): weight 78kg, do a load of good routes in Siurana/Monsant - Flash a 7A whilst there.M - Driving back from WalesT - wall 8 routes TRself belay to 5W - wall 12 routes TR self belay to 5+T - wall 9 routes TR self belay to 6aF - Hungover/tired from works' leaving drinks S - 24 problems up to V2/3S - restReally enjoyed starting climbing again after such a long (2.5 years) layoff. Being really careful as my weight is way up and I'm weak and unfit so a cautious approach needed. Really looking forward to the two trips away.Duncan/Shark - great trip reports... Habrich - not jealous at all..
