Is there anything more trite and tedious than climbers trying second-rate alternative-starts to problems they've already done just to tick an 8A? I think not.
Mon - Remergence with tt, I'm at the point that I was happy to manage Hanging Rib

I'm sure we can tell you what you should actually want to climb next if you want
What is there if there isn’t stamp collecting?

Generally feeling a bit tired and burnt out at the moment. I think I basically peaked far too early in the season (when it was still warm/wet), and then continued trying to train reasonably hard which has left me knackered, so despite having been able to get out plenty of times I've struggled to close the deal on almost everything I've tried. Frustrating. Decided to sack off any sort of training over the next three weeks and just try and get lots of sleep. Will still get out when I can but just aim to potter about and keep things moving.
My infrequent successes are entirely un-"noteworthy"! I dream of ticking a mildly diverting warm-up for someone capable of "noteworthy success".
First week of Lattice Programme which should hopefully target some weaknesses and putting it on here for first time making it very public.

Welcome to PC, nice one getting started. Crikey that is a big week though!! Not a single bit of rest and strength work every day?! Bear in mind I'm in a total fugue state atm where picking up a weight seems like hard work but still...
