Leading indoors

sawylAnother evening of climbing, this time leading from the sharp end of the rope. Although I wasn't spectacularly brave — I wimped out on-sighting a 6a+ — I happily crushed everything easier and stormed up a few routes I'd already top-roped. Next time, hopefully when it's not quite so busy, I'll take a few practice falls early on in the session to get my mind in to the right space to push the grades a bit harder...
ETA: after climbing, L persuaded me to warm down with pull-ups in the training room. Rather to my surprise I smashed my PB, managing a solid 12 consecutive pull-ups — my previous attempts have either not involved dropping all the way back down or putting my feet on the ground between reps. Looks like my current focus on strength and stamina might be starting to pay off.
