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

Finally back to #climbing after 2 months of absence. And got to highpoint with an onsight of the green route in the image located between the person climbing on the left and the Autobelay on the right. Votes for the grade are 50-50 between UIAA 7- and 7. Most holds are smallish pinches and the second to last hold is an uncomfortable slopery hold. The upper third of the wall is slightly overhanging. #IndoorClimbing #GymClimbing #LeadClimbing #Klettern #Vorstieg
