Climbing report card

[sawyl]

I've had my report card back from our recent trip to Turkey. We'd originally planned to hold a debrief over breakfast on our last morning, but there wasn't time — and I heard a rumour from Gavin that both he and Tom had forgotten to set their alarms! As one of the others said, we've all got a pretty good idea of our weaknesses and what we ought to be doing to improve; but it's always good to have something in writing. Here, for the record, are some of the key points:

Areas of Strength

• Climbing general knowledge!
• Problem solving
• Figuring out different beta

Improvements During the Week

• Lots of mileage climbing
• Looked more confortable leading
• Clipping efficiently

Areas to Target

• Strength; work on steeper bouldering
• Talk myself into routes and not out of them!
• Try harder!
• Drills that force good body postion

Goals for 2018

• Lead more than once a year
• Climb outside
• Work 7as
