    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

    #Climbing 16m tall climbing wall... As a noob... One would say the biggest challenge is the fear of height but as you are close to the wall an focused on nearby holds and way up it is not that bad.But even with comfortable holds it is a trip to 5th floor. As begginer I use hands way more than I should so it is pretty exhausting

    This is a really unexpected flash! I'd seen a few people struggle, especially on the top section (the one I end up campusing). I almost swung off right before that fun 360 (I didn't really need to do that, but was easier than to wait to wind back the other way)#bouldering #climbing #bloc #escalade #totem #totem_meyrin

    5June’s humid breath settles in waves over the Mount Washington Valley as the sun dips low in the west. A shadow Cathedral Ledge pools at the base of the real one, growing long toward the chalets and the strawberry fields as I belay my partner up behind me.

    The Hydra swings just as good—or better—as the best of them. But its modularity is where it really shines. https://www.climbing.com/gear/review-black-diamond-hydra-ice-tool/
