Lots of different problems on this day, although we spent a disproportionate time on the 6a.

Its probably because I’m not used to bouldering but I find the moves in general powerful for the grade. They take a bit of getting used to. Up to 5a seems OK but once I move beyond this, they seem to jump in difficulty. That said, Joe and I worked on the 6a traverse problem for ages and managed to link parts of it. Strength undid us in the end. Give it a few more weeks of training and I should get a lot closer.

The undercut wall is fun, although Problem 61 seemed incredibly hard for 4a. shrugged me off. My favourite route was Problem 89 which is an arete. A tricky starting move leads to an easy finish. Great fun.

I rekon I could get into this bouldering…..
