This was LB numma 3 or 4 depending on how i reckon things. But the Moon wall is looking pretty good, and i am finally getting the hang of how this is s'posed to work. Managed to get the large majority of the problems i set--still a few up in the air. No great way to quantify these problems yet; but they feel way hard. In fact, it seems tricky to make a problem that isn't way hard on a 40 degree overhang. But i can't say anything has been grade-changing for me. Very different, yes. The holds i bought tend to be a lot crimpier and smaller than most of the stuff at the gym. And i can't really imagine continuing on with the problems further. So i guess it feels like i'm climbing the beginning few moves of what would be a very hard problem.
Also i had a sort of epiphany whilst warming up for it today. I was playing on the hangboard, and ended up doing some hand-switching on some big slopers, and it occurred how similar the position was to the pumpy cruxes of Three Roofs. This could be the plan for Power Endurance. I could finish out strong as possible on Power, maybe even diet and shed a few lbs over the next coupla weeks, then spend every other day hanging from those slopers until i can take tea and crumpets while reperfusing the guns. That just might get it.
And i'm also considering a really contracted season to start over with strength and power training before i'm too far out from this bout. I feel like i could take my climbing-- especially the bouldering-- to the next level if i could just grab some really really tiny flecks of stone and move off of 'em.
