Catch up and crushing!

I've been a bit busy lately and unfortunately haven't been recording my climbs as I had liked to. But here is a quick history of the past few weeks:

07/03/2012

Craggy island session: I went climbing with my friend Rob who is currently beasting through the SIBL comps and HSBC comps in London. We went and tried the new problems that have been put up at Craggy2 in the rock room. Overall it was a good session and lasted for about 3hours. I even managed to climb a few hard things!

I spent these days re-setting the Fridge at Westway with Slim and Tricky, this was quite a fun set due to us being allowed to set lots of harder problems above v6. We managed to get 30 problems up on the first day with 3 of us, and then a further 17 on the second day with 2 of us setting. There's quite a bit of harder stuff in their now and quite a lot of problems in the mid grades as well. Unfortunately due to the new revolution holds we were using, I ran out of skin by the morning of the second day! So testing the problems later on proved to be painful!

I'm back home for a few days so managed to get outdoors to Trowbarrow in the south lakes, I was hoping to try and work a font8a up there, but the holds were very damp and so I only ended up spending an hour climbing there, and then decided to head home. A short but sweet session.

Due to bad weather I headed indoors to Westview leisure centre where I tried out the new problems. The session started badly with me falling off a v3! After a little pep talk I managed to then on-sight all but 1 of the problems up to v8. I then attempted the v8+'s which were left over from the NIBL comp, one of the problems involves a weird horizontal hanging sequence which I find difficult with my height. So I tried a more direct variation skipping a foothold, which enabled me to get very high on the problem into the second crux, unfortunately I ran out of skin so decided it was time to head home.
