The Climbening.
I'm sticking to the weekly climbing schedule so far. I have callousy hands - I think I understand the tape thing now :)
As to progress, I seem to be stuck on about a 5A/5B level at the moment. Partly, I think, due to a lack of technique, but also due to a lack of stamina and strength. It's also very dependent on the type of route. 4B overhangs give me problems, but I can do some of the 5B quarry/slab routes with no problems at all.
Having said all that, I tried to do a 6B today (you know, just for laughs) and actually got 3 or 4 moves into it. My grip strength is clearly improving.
More climbing this weekend. Haven't decided when I'm going yet though.
