Training Log Archive: Stijn

Last day in Boven. Justin got the send train going with a send of Lotter's Desire this morning and then the pressure was on for me to follow suit on Butterfly. Big fight as usual, with some roaring to stick the crux holds ;) Very happy I managed to latch the dyno at the top too given the state of my arms at the time. Quality route! Had to back-clean half of it afterwards too.

Lauren had left draws on Freak On, so we went back for a last session in the late afternoon. I was 2 beers down and feeling pretty worn out from Butterfly, but was quite keen to just go play on the moves. Turns out that's a good approach as I was able to send it on my first go (had been on it once before a few years ago). Got very pumped near the top and could barely get the draws clipped, but managed to rest on my arms, and get just enough back. Mega classic route this one :)

Quite rainy all day - had one burn on Butterfly in the afternoon. Terrible, greasy conditions but made it a bit further than on my first attempt. Just a few hard moves from the knee bar now.

Morning run in the mist along the escarpment edge trail.

Warmed-up on the first half of Dungeons to clip the first high draw for Lauren and then jumped on Butterfly - a really 3D, technical corner route. Such a good route with problem-solving all the way up. Figured out all the moves and will hopefully send by the end of the week!

Back at the God No Wall, where I managed to hold on for the send of Dungeons & Dragons, despite splitting a fingertip and being rather pumped at the top! Really fun route :)

Justin taking a rest day so Lauren & I went to work out Dungeons and Dragons (26) at the God No Wall. Really fun overhanging corner route which I nearly managed to send on my 2nd go, but fell at the top crux. Will have to try again on Wednesday!
