Right then: for the last twoish weeks, i've been working on stringing three toprope routes together. Basically same thing i was working on last season. But tonight i got 'em all. That's a good feeling, 'cuz i weighed in a coupla lbs heavier than i have recently (200.00) and really wasn't feeling it. And i forgot my tack bag and ended up climbing in an ancient harness and the really-past-due-for-a-resole Solutions.
Hands felt like taffy at first, but that seemed to work itself out. I'm guessing the first route is very stiff .11; the second is prolly in the .10s, and the third, i'd guess, is kinda .9-.10ish. Hard to rate, 'cuz i'm just baked by the time i get there. So i'm not doing the bouldery, powerful 4x4s as prescribed, but honestly i'd guess what i'm doing is more specific for the goal routes i'm looking at.
So summary: Not doing too badly, but i need to lose some lard, and i need to set some new routes.

Campus #5 and Limit Boulder #4
Right then: power is done for the moment. Finished up the last "Limit" boulder sesh tonight and did the last Campus sesh for the season on 10/31 (3 days ago). My hands feel just decrepit.
The limit bouldering was not precisely what would normally be limit for me. Basically got stuck on what should have been the warmup-- got stuck on just bouldering hard. Did get some good routes out of the way. Not quite sure what any of 'em would go at. They're mostly my routes. Anyhow, some good routes in the bag; nothing very limity. Widdle pingers just weren't having it.
Saturday did Campus #5. Ok workout, but it let me know it's time to lay off. i missed some stuff i'd been getting pretty easily. On the other hand, i got some stuff i'd been missing.
L)
Basic: Bleh. B.
1,4,5:
Missed B
Then missed it again. did these in the morning. Might'a' been a li'l early.
M)
1,4,5:
L: Nearly. Lazy.
R: Same. Head not on.
L: Ugh! miss.
R: Didn't stick 4. Miserable.
S)
1,2 (Start on 3, which stretched me out a bit more):
L: Good. Almost matched without a dab.
R: Got the match!
L: Got it!
R: Popped on the match.
1,3:
B: Missed but touched. Nearly!
M)
1, 2-3-4:
B: touched and missed 4. Very torn down. At any rate, that's still progress.
