Yorkshire Pie Mar 2011 8:42am, 2 Mar 2011 8,228 posts	0 Yorkshire Pie 2nd session of my course last night much more actual climbing than the first week, and I'm definitely increasing in confidence. I got up a 4 and was about to try a 5 (and confident of managing it) when we ran out of time. My arms were dead after 2 hours though! There is a vague plan to head to Harrogate wall on the 19th if anyone in the Yorkshire area fancies it

Finding when I let go of a grip my arm aches and after a while I get a really painful ache in the whole arm that seems to radiate from the upper forearm / elbow. Not happy as I was starting to do 4+ and I seemed to have taken a step back 3+ as it is all I can manage at the moment Frustrated from south wales

Just Matt Mar 2011 1:10pm, 16 Mar 2011 748 posts	0 Just Matt Cheers MM is that the one at the leisure centre? We'll give it a go.
MudMeanderer Mar 2011 1:18pm, 16 Mar 2011 101 posts	0 MudMeanderer I don't know it myself, but there is a decent walls directory on the UKC classifieds database, and that seemed to be the only reasonable one close to that area. So I'm not sure if it's in the leisure centre or not.
Yorkshire Pie Mar 2011 6:24pm, 19 Mar 2011 8,280 posts	0 Yorkshire Pie A good session at Harrogate today including kit buying I'm happiest on 3+ or 4 at the moment but I did get up a 4+ before my arms got tired and I dropped back to easier climbs. I'm definitely starting to move better and more confidently now
Mountain Cat Mar 2011 1:20pm, 21 Mar 2011 2,202 posts	0 Mountain Cat Saturday was beautiful - a day to head outdoors. I'd have been at a crag if I hadn't pre-arranged to go MTBing (which was also fun in its own way). Still hoping to get some more winter routes done north of the border in a couple of weekends time....
