S - Witches Point
Got stuck on a 6C that I felt like I could 100% do if my foot didn't keep coming off, which seems to be life there.
Will keep up the campusing though

There’s one of those weaknesses that you’re hoping to spot.Quote from: Wellsy on August 02, 2021, 10:59:49 amWill keep up the campusing though
no run, just runs!
Belayed Penny on War Hero which I then flashed, but fucking hell it was hard. There were two moves which I just got through by the skin of my teeth. Surely this is 7a+, surely!
Wellsy,I agree with Bradders. You recently did 7A+ in a session right? and have only been climbing for a couple of years? That's way ahead of the norm, so whatever you've been doing is working well. If it ain't broke don't fix it! 7A+ in a session means you could probably climb a couple of grades higher over multiple sessions too!I note you also mentioned 'I am not great with heights', so doing more high stuff will probably be beneficial - even on not so high stuff where the moves are a bit insecure or it has a dodgy landing so you'd currently climb a bit stiff. Heart of Darkness on the Hueco boulder could be a good shout - not too far from Anston, high (to the top!), bottom end 7A+ for the stand, and quite powerful on big holds (this is what campussing is for right?). White rabbit just to the left is also a high and excellent 6C from a stand or 7B from a sit (guide says 7A+ but its not).

See how it goes. But good advice, I'll think on it guys. The way I saw it was that generally just trying to be strong as possible has done me well so far, and all that. Campusing gets one strong. I like being strong, cos it's a novelty for me personally. But worth thinking about.
