Managed three sessions in the boulder room that finished with a freshly pulled muscle in the back of the knee somewhere. Heel hooking on the 45deg has been banned by my physio but sometimes... anyways. Managed another V2, got two left and the top moves just need me to man up for. Finally go the starting moves done on the crimpy 30deg V4! Well happy with that - seems it was just finger strength and core. My technique had been right from the off, which is nice to know.
Sat - Finally off work! Stanage, teaching Mel to build belays and seconding her up easy stuff. Led Green Wall VS at Popular but ended up aiding the wet and green gloppy ledge! Ha.
Sun - Led Scorpion Slab HS at Strangler clean, then did Slab and Crack VS Direct but knew I'd have to sit at the undercut to work how out to use the dodgy wrist properly. Made that move first attempt, so chuffed. Wanted to try the E1 5c on the slab but time was running out and a combination of other factors meant it just didn't feel the moment to be pushing grades. It'll go at some point.
Grit is still a mystery. I just can't work it out and don't have the jamming skills or the psyche for it to be honest. I think the fact that slate is my favourite rock may just tell a story...
