Because I am a sucker for punishment...
Jul. 8th, 2013 09:45 pmFeeling indomitable I met up with R and went climbing for the second day in a row. We practiced a few familiar routes including a 5+ that I always complete with a slightly dodgy dyno, but which R struggles with. I'm pretty sure I'm not doing the route correctly: it feels like I'm missing a move with my feet but I can't see what I should be doing, despite going up again and trying a bunch of things out.
Partway through, we met up with L and moved on to some routes with a mixture of grades. R made an second attempt to crack the 5+ she'd almost completed on Thursday, only to get stuck fairly early on when someone — not me! — offered her some helpful advice. I repeated a couple of sixes I'd managed last week and added another one to my list of accomplishments. It wasn't entirely clean — I fluffed one of the moves but managed to recover pretty quickly — but I got to the top without too much trouble and I'm sure I'll be able to do it next time.
