Campus #2 (and some climbing)

Counting thursday's "warmup" bouldering comp as a limit boulder session. Did get third place overall. Can't feel too bad about that.

Finally campused. (I will assume that's the correct past tense of campus). Campus sesh numma two almost a week out. Actually went really well.

First we climbed. Annie led her first climb outside: a 5.6. It was way easy for her, but i think she needed a confidence boost. Then she managed to work the moves out on an 11b on TR. :)

I led the same 11, and climbed it again on TR, and that worked out to be a really nice warmup for campusing. Still haven't been able to order the "large" and "medium" rungs; but i'm having fun on my "extra large" and "XXL" rungs. Spacing for these is standard Moon spacing: 22cm.

Did an up-n-down ladder on the XXL rungs.

Then a matching ladder, leading with each hand, on the XL.

Then basic ladders, again leading with each.

Those were pretty easy, so i decided to try some max ladders. First i skipped from rung (r) 2-4L then r5 R. Then same leading R. Pretty easy.

Then i tried r2-5L to r6R. Same leading R. Failed getting to the match on r6 both hands first two tries, but then i got it both hands leading for a couple of reps. Really hafta think about pulling down with the trailing hand simultaneously.

Then i tried r2-4L to r6R, and that was way harder. Tried a coupla sets with each hand leading, but i couldn't stick the second rung. Gave it what fer though. I think i'll get that. Not sure yet why it's so much harder-- same overall distance in the same number of moves. But it's harder.
