Climb Climb

Published by figur8 at 6:18 pm under indoor climbing gym, rock climbing

I went climbing Friday night with P, E and J. It was a fun and relaxing session which felt good because everything came easily, even the new routes on the auto-belay.

Saturday, the boulder cave at Camp 5 was officially open, so the whole bunch of posers headed out to crank out a few routes.

Sunday saw a couple of top ropes and one lead climb before I bombed out. I tried a “brown” route that I had attempted on my first day in Camp 5. I’m glad to note that the holds felt a lot friendlier than they did that first day. My repertoire of “holdable” holds has increased.

Perhaps I’ve been climbing too often with a body no longer accustomed to hitting the wall on a daily basis. My forearms feel tired all the time and I feel a strain just squeezing the spritzer and holding the frying pan.

I wake up in the morning feeling like I haven’t slept enough. It’s different from the usual pleasant ache of a hard work out from the previous day. It’s more like a lethargy that sets in and makes me feel sluggish. I wonder if it’s the work out or something missing from my diet.
