Mixed

Session at KC today... lot of new problems...soon felt that my body isn't at the top at the moment, still sick I guess.. fingers felt ok but not like I wanted to test them too much yet. So just hung around and tested the new blacks. Even not totally in shape and not a lot of strength it felt that the problems have gotten a tick harder or, like B said, too much black tape over..

WhippingBalcony






Yeah.. autumn has come and winter is near... Got the possiblity to get access to this.. 3.70 wide, overhanging 62 degrees and 3.15 long...kickboard 67cm ... hmmmmmm.. would/could be a steep woody.

oh-ohhhhhh

Fingerboard in the morning again. Good warm up, felt ok... but then on hang 2 .. pain from right hand mid finger straight down towards the elbow..tested 2 more hangs but just didn't work out.. still painfull now :-( Not good it seems......

Fingerboard

Due to lack of time this week its back to the Fingerboard. Been a long time and felt like one needs to get used to it a bit. Didn't help that my timer had a spasm after the first round.... sorted it all after a while and got on with it. Skin was sore after.

Kids

Well.. seems like T was strong due to illness.. it is not too uncommon that one is strong before illness sets in.. then again I could be wrong ,-)
Went back to KV as I felt ok and was keen on the white problem from last session. Had a good warm up 5.3min trv then some easy problems from blue to black. Happy to do the black problem I tried with T last time 1st go today, amazing what a bit of rest can do! Then over to the white and did it on 3rd go.. could have done it before but had some issue with sweaty hands and nervousness at the crux. First white at KV :-D
Tried another new white under the Tunnel.. super nice and hard, possible to get to the Zone hold with some work and then gets very hard...cool! Something to work at..fingers, toehook, heelhook..what can you want more?
Had my watch with me today and mostly climbed alone, good rest periods.
1 arm hangs were just as last time, on the other hand managed to do 3 ring dips (not that good style)..
All in all ... looking ok. Next week will be hard to get some climbing time due to other things that need to be done after work.. so I guess it will be some BM sessions instead.
---------------------------------------
ps:OFF TOPIC ..Ah yes, the title...rather sick of kids at KV and now, I mean especially climbing parents with kids, where the parents are known people and have climbed for a while... why is it that some of them just can't tell their kids to NOT run/play under climbers, to NOT just climb/play where one is training, to just let them roam free without telling them to watch out and just let them kick balls on other people etc.!! Have seen this at other Gyms as well... but find that KV is not good at fixing this.. maybe an extra staff on the floor? Or is it that just because they are known people it doesn't matter? All parent when coming to climb should have to sign a paper stating that they WILL watch over/take care of their kids! Every time! I am a parent and aware of the implications but it can't be that hard?

Mr. T

Was on fire tonight! I felt like a sack of potatoes next to him...Then again, here come the excuses, I haven't been feeling well (jumped over mondays session); stressing with my parent; stress at work and little sleep... a bit over 4.5 hours last night.
Anyway, it started all well for the warm up except maybe a little too pumped. Then flashed a new black???(more red..if), tried another new black which was much harder..after some beta searching for T. he managed to do it, I just pumped out.
Tried a new white, both got 1/2 way. Then over to a, again, new white..worked out all moves and was close..more technique then power it felt. And again after working out most of the beta..Mr.T snags it...I had no power left in me to try more, felt my little finger too much from crimping.
Then even on the 1 arm DH Mr.T impressed, last time we were close but now..
All in all a fun session. Next time with my watch to hold proper rest times and stick to 2 hrs. Good to know that at least one white at KV is doable (next time) so it's all good :-D

Mixed feelings

Still feeling tiered abused and very sore from the Ring training... 5.3 min warm up. Big group..T,S,B, M, D etc. all new problems at KV. Fun red problems.. then do some black problems.. no power in my arms and shoulders though. Didn't try any white problems today..but seemed very hard. Finish of with some more rings and 1 arm DH's.
More...

Fingers

With T at KV...on the Days menu: white problems. Due to KV comp on friday this became a little limited. 5.3min warm up trv. Then 3 white problems.. got to do a highpoint on one, on the next lost it all and never came up to my last highpoint. Then tried a "new" white which felt harder then all the other whites and quickly moved on to an open hand white where my power left me. Felt like a hard finger and core session... feeling it now! Managed to finish off with 1 Ring Dip and 5.3min trv.

Red

At KV today with T. 5.3 min trv as warm up.. then over to all blue and after that all red problems. Finished of with 17.5 red problems out of 20..missed the last 2 and really didn't have that much more to give. Finished of with trying to do some ring dips.. very hard I found, then did some 5.3 min. trv. again. Nice session ::-D

More Power

First via Orminge.. but of course it had to be wet outside.
Thus we went to KV and it was a big group there, fun. Started of easy with some trv. then some blue, red + 1 black problem. Then over to white problems. Got to a highpoint on the white I thought possible last time..only 3 moves left. The others I tried felt hard and fun, still feel Wednesdays session in my fingers. Maybe closer on some ...finally the easy week is here, feels like I need one.
:-D
