I forgot to mention a slight covid cockup last night. I was chatting to Paul who was in charge last night. I was asking for some advice about a couple of problems and I was lamenting my short arms. He then decided to compare wing span with me - face to face and touching hands 🤦‍♀️ At least he was wearing a mask.

My arms will be toasted after tomorrow - made the most of a quieter wall today; tomorrow evening will be busier. Finally topped my 6a+ long white overhang-at-the-top project on my last climb of the session..... forearms are definitely feeling the increase in training over the last week..... shame we won’t be able to reap the benefit.... #firstworldproblems

Pull ups, core work, build a bouldering wall in your garage/loft/spare room I am really hopeful we stay with the current tier system as I can continue to climb. I'd forgotten how much I enjoy it.
Dave A Nov 2020 10:58pm, 3 Nov 2020 22,676 posts	0 Dave A Last climb pre lockdown done. 3 hours at the wall and finished off both my 6b+ projects. The last one with my final climb of the night.

My body is now ready for a break though - 5 sessions in 8 days 🤣 I am going to so miss that place, the difference I think it has made to my mental health over the past few months has been big - somewhere to go to switch off and feel like I’m getting better at something; plus the endolphin rush too of finishing a route or the satisfaction of knowing you’ve climbed something well and smoothly.... hopefully not too long before we’re back. And now HP - it’s down to you to fill the thread with tales of your climbing - and I look forward to hearing them 😀😀😀
