T: Lattice YouTube core workout on lunch. Still no idea why I can't do tucks.
W - afternoon at Malham. Had a first look at Mescalito and found it completely perplexing.

Still no idea why I can't do tucks.Not sure if this is the same exercise, but I struggled to do v sits (the ones with bent legs, similar to tucks?) and then tried adding ankles weights and it made it easier? Felt like I was tipping backwards before, this made me more balanced. Think after a while it felt doable without the ankle weights, so it helped to be able to modify the exercise so I was actually able to do the movement.Might be worth a shot? Or it's not the right kind of exercise/issue, in which case this is of little use Edit: just looked up the video, think it's the same exercise

As an AI language model, I do not have access to real-time data on climbing routes, including the beta for climbing the route Mescalito at Malham Cove in England. However, beta or route information for climbing can often be found on climbing forums or guidebooks. It is important to note that climbing can be a dangerous activity and requires proper training, experience, and equipment. It is recommended to consult with experienced climbers or seek professional guidance before attempting any climbing route.
Mescalito is a notoriously difficult route at Malham Cove, a popular climbing destination in England. It is considered one of the hardest sport climbs in the world, with a grade of 9b (5.15b) on the French grading system.Climbers attempting Mescalito face a steeply overhanging wall, with difficult and technical moves throughout. The route is also known for its sustained nature, with no real rest points to recover on.In short, Mescalito is an extremely challenging climb that requires a high level of strength, technique, and endurance. It is not a climb that should be attempted without significant experience and training at lower grades.
Never quite got my Birthday Tick of "whingeing consultants" (7b+ but very bouldery and powerful) but got close.
Fuck me, didn't realise it was 9b and the hardest route in the world
I had Whingeing Consultants as a pre-wedding project 8 years ago (jeez, where did that time go?). Ive not done many at the grade but got the impression it's not a gift.
