I Want Power!
I want more power! I want, I want, I want!!!!!
Did that sound like a petulant child?
I went to work on my pink boulder problem again. My left hamstring has recovered somewhat but still tweaking a little. Even so, despite my best efforts, I haven’t been able to link up the sequences on that pink problem. Argh! I want more power!
JP happened to walk past us as I glared at the pink problem, crying in despair. Thinking I couldn’t complete the last segment, he showed me a nifty knee bar move that conserved a lot more energy than the sequence I had originally coined. It is definitely a better move and I will certainly have to link that one in the next time I attempt this problem again.
C did really well - she’s almost cleaned the green problem. Her only problem now is making the last move which I feel is purely mental. Had that move been a meter off the ground, I’m sure she would have nailed it.
I decided to take my mind off the pink problem and C’s mind off the green problem, so the two of us attempted some of the other boulder problems. Strangely, my mind feels a lot more comfortable bouldering in the cave than I do on the High Ball Wall. I froze on a relatively easy pink problem on the High Ball Wall, but inside the cave, I feel comfortable making 50-50 moves.
The only problem is that there are a lot of overhangs and roof segments inside the cave which all spell one word – power. So we’re back to the same desire that started this post – I want more power!
