7th July - 9th July - 11th July Sessions

It's been a busy week so I haven't had time to update this.

However this week has been a week of progress!

The training sessions are generally running like usual with a mix campus boarding/ fingerboarding/ roof climbing and 45' board training.

I finally got 1-4-7 back and doing 1-3-5-7-9-11 is becoming very easy on the middle rungs. Next week I'll be stepping this up to the smaller rungs and seeing how I fare.

I also repeated the f7c roof problem fairly easily and I have made big progress on the f8b roof problem, there is a final section which is requiring more work but this will be conditions dependent!

Unfortunately I ripped a fingertip again on Thursday, so it looks like I'm confined to easy stuff for the weekend. I plan to head down to the wall today to do laps on jug problems and slab work. I'm thinking of doing some pull up and lock off training as well. This all depends on my fingertip though. I'll update on this later.

1 week left in London now, So I'm hoping to get the last bit of decent training in that I can before the move back North.

04/07/13 - Session

I had a session today where I got to test a load of routes with an old friend of mine, who I used to route set with.

He'd just set about 20 problems and needed a consensus on gradings, so I helped him grade them. The majority were between V3-V6 and were really good and very different. It was quite nice to just climb for once and not focus on the training aspect.

I finished the session off my doing 15 pull ups on the Beastmaker 2000 Medium pockets.

02/07/13 Session

Session went as follows:

Roof

1 x ascent of 6c+
1 x ascent of 7a
1 x ascent of 7b
1 x ascent of 7c

45' Board

Working a few problems that are focussing on power, these are going well and shoulder stability is increasing.

This was a 60 minute board session

I finished this session early due to feeling tired.

Fingerboard

20 x pull ups on jugs on Beastmaker 1000

30/06/13 Session

I had a short session today which was a mix of bouldering on the roof and on the 45' board.

I've been attempting wider moves on small crimps.

I finished the session on the fingerboard, doing the usual 5 pull ups on every hold on the Beastmaker 1000.
