  • Today for the first time tried climbing over 90° overhang, with partial success

    Small, but pretty meaningful progress: could only reach the hold #1 right above the overhang, but today did #2 (~40cm higher)

    Thanks to my climbing instructor for explaining one important bit of technique!

    (rotating body to raise the center of gravity while keeping the hand straight)

    This weekend tried ice climbing for the first time. With small drytooling experience, soft-ish ice and slightly positive slope it was surprisingly easy. Once did 5 climbs with no breaks, and only stopped because of queue

    Also tried different ice tools: my new Trango Raptor, Petzl Sum'tec and two variations of non striking tools. Non striking are physically easy to to use when ice is not flat, but are harder to trust. Raptors are holding best, but the striking motion is harder to master because of the blade angle. Sum'tecs are just the easiest for beginners

    And this was an actual frozen waterfall!
    (more like a frozen shell around still flowing waterfall, and the ice in the middle was quite thin and not attached to the rock)

    Today for the first time tried climbing over 90° overhang, with partial success

    It took 3 attempts to grab the first hold above the overhang with both hands and place my body horizontally

    This 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
