Climbing (Bouldering) 33:50 [1]
With Luke and Claire before the 6pm closing time. Very few people. Nice!
I was there earlier than the others so warmed-up (properly for once) by doing all the 'moo cow' problems.
Found a black in the main area cave that we could start but not really make it over a horizontal diving dyno!
Repeated a couple that I'd followed Wil up last time.
Started the yellow in the green room (far wall near the cave) that, before xmas, I had deemed impossible for tall people and then immediately stuffed up. After the second sucessful start I simply will-powered my way to the top!
Got farther than ever on the lie-back start pink just to the right. Did so by employing a maverick style: pinched the arête for long enough to get my right hand onto the hold at the far end of the volume.
Got past the 'Vaseline hold' on the yellow in the green room first time today then chickened out of the high up foot-switch before the final hold.
Finished by doing quite a lot of campussing on the moo cow and red ptoblems just below the hidden seating area. Tiring to the point that my shoulders started to fasiculate...
Tagged on some abysmal attempts at no-handed climbing on the slab outside the green room.
The minimal pain I get in the Achilles makes doing more and more climbing tempting but I'll stick to using it as weekly cross-training for now. I'm still improving doing this way so no plateau yet.
