Updating from phone. Been arranging private lessons with Ben at the foundry. We did lots of leading work on 4/5 and 5+’s and my clipping is improving. I thing i may be able to lead a 6a. Maybe. Just got back from the climbing works. Did most of the green route which was fun. I think i’m going to ache tomorrow

Well, not quite. They’ve changed all the top roping routes! I’ll never get to finish that hard blue one! Never mind eh? Tonight was cool. Me and 2 others on a private lesson. We working through a bunch of top ropes, finishing on a 6b, which wasn’t too hard and them moved over to do some leading. I almost completed a 6a, but had to rest a bit 2 moves before the end. I think I might have completed it if I’d have pushing myself but my hands really had started working! The leading wall is a little taller and has an significant inverse gradient over what I’m used to, not to mention the whole leading part, so I’m pretty chuffed with that. Bouldering extreme this Saturday morning hopefully.

Not much posting after that big one back there. Basically, that 4 hours session at the bouldering wall did something a bit nasty to my right shoulder. Not exactly hurty, unless I tried to use a too much. I did a couple of sessions, not pushing it too hard, but that and the added problem of being out of town at random due to work meant I put climbing on hold for a couple of weeks. However, I’m back! 
Thursday I have a private lesson with 2/3 friends with the guy from the Wednesday lessons. It costs about the same and we should have much more focus from the teacher. I’m quite looking forward to it. So, any interesting new climbs? I was working on a 6b+ which is scary hard. The holds are quite small and the moves require quite a lot of balance. Second attempt at the wall I worked out the start which was down to which side of your left foot you used. If you were on the wrong side, raising your arm above your head to grab the next hold over balanced you. After looking at it a while I worked it out. Hurrah. I’ve got 3/4 of the way up now, and I’m determined to do it!
