Climbing
Climbing again last night was brilliant fun.
I think I broke myself this week. I was only planning on bouldering beforehand for 10 minutes maximum. An hour later and we started climbing...
Although after last weeks broken-ness I think I gained muscle so it wasn't as hard this time as last week. I managed all my climbs, just. Though I had to sit quite frequently during some of them!
Still Heppie (hepstar) was happy as after bouldering for a while my right arm was all pumped. So now she thinks I might *just* have worked hard enough ;)
I on the other hand thought it looked quite scary with all my veins popping out and stuff :P
After the bouldering, Heppie, Will and I did six climbs before Leanne (lsowersby) turned up. All were 5B level climbs for me. That was plenty hard enough after the bouldering (in fact, way too hard at times)! I would have been more than happy to do some 5A climbs, but Will informed me I wasn't allowed! After Leanne arrived, we split up and I did five more 5B level climbs before we stopped for a break. After our break, I did the 5B top rope climb that was on the big boys wall. I really enjoyed that one :) I then did two more 5B climbs and finished on a nice 5C climb. All in all we did 14 climbs this week, which is really good going considering we bouldered for an hour first!
Note:
Climbs I loved: small room - outside wall - blue 5B; small room - inside wall - far corner - red 5B; big boys - bouldering corner top rope - black & green spots 5B; small room - outside wall - blue 5C
Climbs I hated: small room - outside wall far corner - pink 5B; small room - outside wall - white 5B with features; small room - outside wall - green 5B
