    Yesterday was a good session at the climbing gym. I did around 8 routes, which is more than I usually do. I think I'll need a few more sessions on the 5c+ overhang, but after some flailing around I managed to find an ok position to clip in around the crux. I flashed a 6a+ on top rope, wasn't confident at all, there are two big committing moves. I'll probably rework it a bit before trying to lead it. Tried a 6b for funsies, lots of sloppers and pinches so pretty much my anti-style but I could do a lot of the moves even though by that point I had very little strength left.Also got my arse kicked on the hot pink 6a slab. Truthfully I think this one felt a bit morpho. All in all I know what I have to work on the most : clipping efficiently (to not get too spooked), finding good clipping positions (to not get too spooked) and my mental game (to tolerate a bit more spookiness).It would help to have a more regular partner, right now I'm pretty much climbing with someone new every time which doesn't help with building trust and confidence.#climbing

    When a cadre of climbers developed one of New England’s biggest sport crags, weekend warriors came in droves. The problem? Climbing in Merriam Woods wasn’t exactly allowed. https://www.climbing.com/places/sport-climbing-new-hampshire/
