Keen been, and done for the week.
M rest
T route setting. 3x16m 6a, 6a+, and 7b+. Morning spent putting up the rough drafts, each route involves hauling 25-50kg to the top of the wall (easier routes tend to be heavier) then making up an on grade version that fits my sensibilities and feels fresh. Each route is normally put on in a 1-1.5 hr drop.A drop involved a lot of holding heavy things in position, and maintaining core intensive body shapes to do so. Afternoon is similar to boulder setting, climbing and re climbing until it is possible, on grade and non peachy/ cruxy. As well as making it as flowy and cool as possible. Then you climb the other setters stuff for grade comparison and quality check. A very tiring day.
W Rest.
T First outdoor session of the year, had a few hours to kill in Betws y Coed so went to Rhiw Goch. Did Gap of Rohan 3rd go, got annoyed by White Rider, did the top of Moria. Not really my sort of place but was a sunny and social time. Then went exploring in the woods below Craig Dinas, no treasure but a good slog around.
F Rest
S work, a bit of route maintenance so a handful of easy routes climbed.
S limit bouldering with the lovely wife. Warmed up on a bunch of v3-4, with 6x v5, completed three v6 and thrashed around on a couple of 7&8's
