Another extreeemely cool day today. Went with a friend, bouldered to our hearts content, actually topping a few routes at the top end of our current skill level and with lots of toying around. Then after we were pretty much powered out, met somebody who was quite fresh and seemed like nice company, so we continued another ... uh ... two hours. Including some hangboarding and so. Veeery long but satisfying and nice session #Bouldering #Boulder #BoulderDiary #climbing #sport

More Bouldering! Today was amazing: I managed my first "6"! The red running route I wrote about a few days ago actually has 3 starts: a 4, a "jumping" 5 and a pogo/running start 6. Today I managed the 6! Also this one turqoise sloper 5 that was really hard in a few places, that I´ve been working on for 1.5 weeks I finally managed to top today! What´s more a ugly balance "5" with a very high crux, and TWO routes in total roof. Wow, what a day!#bouldering #boulder #climbing #sport #BoulderDiary

Gravity really made its presence felt today, and my ego definitely felt the impact #climbing #bouldering #moonboard

Howdy fellow climbers, little money saving tip: resole your climbing shoes. Costs about 50 euros instead of a new pair.#climbing #bouldering

Aaaaand another reaaally nice session. Met cool people, had a lot of fun, succeeded in two "5"s, despite the knee. And what´s more: I managed my first running-start route! The red you see here is running from the right, and jumping two times, then grabbing the start hold. I actually managed to top it! WOo fucking hoo!#bouldering #boulder #climbing #sport

After having had a long pause because my knee hurt so badly, I was back on the wall yesterday. I struggled a bit because I didn´t know how much the knee could take, and which kinds of movements were problematic, so I took it slow, attempting simpler routes with clearer beta, and also no routes where I´d risk a less-controlled fall from higher-up.Despite this, it was a great long session with a good friend, and has been TREMENDOUS fun.#boulder #bouldering #climbing #STEIL

Some pics from late night #bouldering yesterday. I'm very much still a beginner, but I'm happy with the red and pink courses here that I flashed #sports #climbing

I made a thing.#Bouldering chalk bucket. I can post the pattern I made for it if anyone wants it, but I didn't document the process.#climbing #sewing #IMadeAThing

It's so satisfying sending a route at the end of a session when I'm ready to go home but decide to give the project one last go. Today I was working a long traversing problem (v5ish) that has a fun mix of heel hooks, throws and fancy footwork while locked off on marginal slopers. Last time I was in the gym (before holiday travel) I finally linked all the sections and today I was consistently getting past the crux but just didn't have the energy for the easy-ish but dynamic move that followed. Was ready to pack it in but decided one more go to to dial in the first 2/3rds of the route wouldn't hurt... And everything clicked. Just floated through all the hard moves and hit the final dynamic move with that satisfying stick that tells you your hand is **not** coming off and then easily reached the top. Maybe resigning myself to waiting a few more days to send freed up enough mental energy to give me that little boost I needed.#bouldering #climbing #climber

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

Getting pumped on crimps is acceptable and expected, it just happen, but all those half-jugs and half-finger grip or pinch holds that seem okay'ish often surprises with how fast they make you feel pumped. I'm gonna try this for a month to see what impact it can have on bouldering/climbing, hopefully it will reduce this aspect that often limit progress.#climbing #bouldering

I've now linked the start and end of this v5 (indoor) problem Ive been working on for the past week and it's so hard to give myself the proper rest between attempts. I'm even setting timers... And then constantly looking at the timer cause I'm itching to get back on and send it. Now pacing back and forth in the gym like a crazy person. #bouldering #boulderingproblems #climbing

Wonder if it's worth asking for #bouldering or #climbing #beta on Mastodon? How do I get my toe onto the chip below the sloper? The top hold is sloper on top, a flat crimp/undercling underneath. The chip is the same shape but angled to the right...Beta please?

Turns out running 130miles over a weekend really zaps you. I had enough energy for about 3 decent goes on this. #fontainebleau #bouldering #rocherDeLaReine
