Climbing (Bouldering) 31:15 [1]
To The Climbing Hangar after a coffee in Hammersmith with Dave, Andi, toddler Laine and Andi's colleague Simon.
Started in the top of 3 levels and did a couple of pull-ups, push-ups and their two easiest graded problems (leopard print and green).
Went to the mid level and started with a bit of slab stuff before being drawn into a group of guys trying to do a long pink roof problem. Spent far too much time faffing with feet and trying little changes on my first attempt. Tired by crux: a long reach that forces you to cut the feet loose. I could do the move without climbing to it!
Mainly tried oranges and pinks, with the odd blue thrown in, when I went downstairs. I think these were V3. Quite satisfied with a few moves I pulled off: a big dyno to one-handed catch, a really technical start on a geometric pink right next to the entrance and getting up a corner using foot-smearing, wall-palming and balance.
Finished off with 7 then 3 pull-ups to get fully ruined.
