    Today for the first time tried climbing over 90° overhang, with partial successIt took 3 attempts to grab the first hold above the overhang with both hands and place my body horizontallyThis first part turned out to be way easier than expected. So for me the focus of the first week of training in 2025 would be practicing raising straight legs while hanging (instead of raising knees)It feels like completing this overhang with my current shape would be very hard, but still possible and worth trying#climbing

    First send vid of the year, inspired by the upcoming cave reset. Actually pretty doable if you're only mildly wasted and not completely boxed before you try it... There's probably a lesson in there, but damned if I can spot it #Climbing #Bouldering #IndoorBouldering #ClimbingIsMyPassion #WeaAeSpiderClimbers
