The setting there is predominantly big, or really big, or REALLY big holds which is nice for a change.
SundayChecked out the new Substation wall in Brixton, some bouldering then did my Ancap session on the circuit board.
S - Drove to Queyras in the southern French Alps.

Sod's law there was barely enough snow to go around there but it absolutely dumped in Tirol! Has been a bit sketchy though.
Th - wife needed a lift to Halifax and then had a couple of hours to kill, so went to Woodhouse Scar. Repeated The Sheriff, then backed off Piton Crack a couple of times as the move to the top is scary without a spotter!
Trying this in the spring I was convinced it was still 8A comparing it to other things on grit and lime I'd tried/done around the same time but as always happens I've now got no idea. Maybe having trained properly all summer for the first time is paying off??
Head other to the Satellite Boulder to have a look at Status Interrupted.

M - Drove nearly all the way to the wall before realising that daughter's kit was still at home. Abandoned the idea of turning the evening into a 100 mile round trip.T - 8km walk at lunch, max hangs, assisted one-arms, wide weighted pulls, locks, hammer / biceps curls, mini stretch - got back into this session over past couple of weeks and really like itW - 9km walk, aero repeaters (7:3/1 min rest x10 on 25mm edge assisted) KB press, press-ups on roller, lat raise, goblet squat, ring dips, then decent stretch.Often struggle to get syked for aero cap at the wall, and I don't mind doing this sort of boring aero at home, tho I should be aiming for multiple sets of these before too long.T - 9km walk, max hangs (not quite fresh enough), wall: can't actually remember other than feeling quite tired)F - Feeling ill with minor cold / bug of some sortS - Skipped AM at the wallS - Wall with both kids. Felt amazing, inc much more solid on burly stuff. Flashed a lot of stuff I wan't expecting to. Enjoyed it and had fun with the kids rather than doing anything too much like training.The Tues session was the thing I did a lot of during one of the 2020 lockdowns and when I came back I felt super solid. The past few months I've felt a bit like strong fingers attached to a giant heavy jelly. Quite pleased to be heading back in the right direction. Weight loss has dropped off and need to readdress that. Hoping to get on some route projects in the next fortnight, and maybe a boulder day trip too. Feeling quite optimistic, with a lot of quite easy areas for improvement...
