Yet more bouldering

Following on from Sunday's efforts, I cracked the next couple of bouldering league problems. The first success was a matter of brute force, so I picked a good moment and blitzed it.

Having made it past the opening section a couple of times, I think I'll be able to crack it if I pick my moment. Nine felt well and truly beyond me: the starting position was difficult and I couldn't quite work out how to get a solid right-hand grip on the next hold, probably because my weight was in completely the wrong place.

Still, progress is progress...
