Went climbing today with the singular goal of not being in the house for a while in order to regain a modicum of sanity. But i hadn't climbed since thursday (if a brutha could consider that climbing), so the mitts'd had a li'l time to re-knit. Paid off, 'cuz i got that v6 i'd been working on last session. Very hard to say if it's really v6, but i'm taking it. Kind of a one move problem, but the one move took me a whole buncha burns to 1) do, then 2) repeat/link through. Big pull-through from under a roof with the right hand on a pinch and the left foot way back under the roof toe-hooking the start. When i finally got it from the crux, it felt fairly easy, but then i could not repeat it for some reason. Finally i'd nearly given up on it 'cuz my hand was exhausted from the pinch, and i got distracted by some hoser waiting on a climb behind me, and suddenly i'd linked through the move. i snapped back to, and realized it was very important that i not fall on the finish moves. Kinda trippy, really. Funny how failing can be purely in yer head.
So to celebrate, i went upstairs to the cave, and got a v5 second try. That, i'm fairly confident, was not seriously a 5. Fatboy doesn't second-try 5s. But it sho was a nice feeling. And i was needing a nice feeling after flailing through the last week. Beautiful way to start the week.

Nice session. I've got to find my happy zen spot and get my arse moving again.
Yeah, that happens to me way too rarely. But i'll still recommend it. And locking out a double with 350 is not exactly a bad day in the gym.
