Climbing and bouldering
Sep. 4th, 2014 04:36 pmA day of climbing and bouldering with R and H, which worked out well after a slightly wobbly start. In the process I managed to take a horrible fall — I screwed up the second clip on a lead route — and it was only R's quick reactions that saved me from hitting the deck. H said afterwards that he didn't think he'd've been able to do it. But the fall wasn't enough to keep me down and I immediately hopped back on the same route, doing about half of it before deciding I couldn't work out the next couple of moves.
After R headed off for a quiet afternoon of dog walking and quality parental time, H and I put in a bit of time on in the bouldering room and I picked up what were probably my final ten points in the summer league — the last round ends tomorrow — with a quality flash of a mid-ranking problem. We finished up, had pizza for lunch, doubled back to the Quay to allow me to update my scorecard with my success — something I'd managed to forget as we were leaving — and headed to station where H missed his train by a matter of seconds. We then popped back to my place for an hour before returning to the station where H managed to catch the next train with barely a minute to spare.
