STG - current board project. Go and try the route at least once before Summer. Mon - board climbing. A bit tired from the Sunday journey. Tried two new problems that I recently set. One is absolutely brilliant. Underclings galore. Ab-wheel, two singles with full stretch pause: first one 1'20", second one 55".
Dunno how far back to go as I haven't posted up since March 20th...Went on vacation with my wife and daughter for 2 weeks. Got in four days of climbing outside. A good day in Leavenworth where I cleaned up a variety of problems I had tried in the past but not completed. A short sport climbing day in clear creek canyon, co where I did 4 sport routes. A short (1.5 hr) session at the ogden boulders in Utah where I sessioned about 40 problem in 2 hrs. I got back to town and did a moonboard session with friends. Then headed out of town for work, where I managed to squeeze in a couple of days of climbing - mostly a good day at Yankee Jim near Bozeman MT. I've been nursing an Achilles tendonitis issue for the last few months, and it's gotten progressively worse. I finally realized I needed to deal with it as I couldn't wear climbing show anymore... So now I'm on to a solid 4 weeks of training without shoes. Loads of campus and FB. Then reassess how the achilles is doing. EDIT: and the work front is crazy. looking at 50-60+ hrs/wk for the next 2-3 months... I hope I don't go insane
It's the send the world's waiting for

I read this and thought you did it at full extension on the toes.... I was in complete shock.

Really pleased to do this - great route, first of the grade for me (8a+), felt like I had to fight, and also had to learn to use the rests rather than just sprinting through as is my usual tactic.Well done, awesome effort!

RE shoes - I've a pair of those Addidas-5:10 trainers - and I recon you could boulder on a board/wall pretty well in those as theyre pretty stiff - and they are very supportive of the achiles...

I did wonder about the expectations thing - Rosea was pretty knackered too so neither of us were expecting much, maybe less self imposed pressure helped us both tick.

I think it was about 2 years ago cut a V shape out of my climbing shoe Kantanas which took the pressure off. Seemed to work and it gradually settled down.Well sort of Thanks for the idea. I may look into them as I start getting back to climbing and wearing shoes. . It's gotten to the point now where if I wear any shoes (well - almost any shoes) then I can barely walk the next morning. I'm now stuck into flipflops for the next 4 weeks while campusing and FBing.
S: Spent 4hrs in the chair getting this done:
Lucky bastard.
