Some Videos
I’m off to my Wednesday climbing session in a mo, but I thought I’d pop up two more videos taken this weekend.
First up is Jim completing the 7a I was talking about in my previous update
He’s happy because, like me he’d been working on it for ages and knew that it was going this week as well!
Next video is Jim attempting to climb a nasty 6c+ that I cannot do. I’m about a hand too short to reach the second to last hold and can’t figure out a way to get closer to it. I’ve tried jumping for it, but the hold is too poor for me to be able to hang on it.
I’m looking pink as I’ve just come off it! Ah well, that climb is probably gone by now….

I’ve got another 7a done now. It’s the orange and black spots climb up the corner in the Furnace. Jim and I have been working on it on and off for months and, under the threat of it being taken down on Monday, set on it with a passion today. It was my second attempt that finished it, but first being thwarted by me not actually remembering how to climb correctly. After a stretch out on a couple of other easy climbs I got back on it, worked over the bits I kept messing up in my head and just did it.
It will be a shame for it to go as it’s a cracking climb.
Oh, 100 Pushups. I’ve done the first 2 weeks now and last night did the test again to start week 3. At the start I managed 40. This time I managed…. 41. Oh.
