Afternoon all. Hope you all had a good week - I had a pretty good one (subtracting the work components... )Mon, Tues, First days back in work since NY Weds: Worked in the morning - then over to Burbage on my way back to Manchester - got there about 2:30. Met up with Toby at Remergence and eventually sketched my way up Blind Date (YYFY!)
Such a quintessential Grit moment during the video as the snow falls.
Good effort TomTom, there is another move on that too.

F - A rare BM session for some strength testing. Max hangs. Set a few PB's like one arming the deep pockets (inexplicably, since I never train or climb on pockets), weak arm half crimp the low rung with 6kg in t'other hand, and some dirty back two action. Surprising results. I should use my hangboard more.
Picked up au pair from the airport

I'm getting deja vu, Barrows.

A fair few 8B climbers would struggle to do this.
Always hard to know where one's climbing bottle necks lie.

I suspect your version of weak is what a lot of people would consider mutated!Quote from: gme on January 15, 2019, 11:13:41 amQuote from: abarro81 on January 15, 2019, 09:28:46 amQuote from: teestub on January 14, 2019, 05:48:03 pmQuote from: AMorris on January 14, 2019, 12:59:40 pmF - A rare BM session for some strength testing.

Fri - train up to froggatt, got long john’s just as started spitting which felt 6a for a short arse
I went to uni in Leicester, theres some good esoteric trad around there but the bouldering is probably better.
That said I spent a lot of time at Slawstons which is an unbelievably good venue for training trad fitness!
