King's

Well I finally made it back outside to do some climbing for the first time since spring break. I have been training a lot at home though, which really feels like has been making quite a big difference in my climbing. I can definitely tell that my contact strength is getting a little better which is good because I want to be in the best shape as possible for this summer. Yesterday, since everything was pretty much soaking wet we really only climbed on easy stuff.

However, we did get on some 10's and I flashed a cool 10.a called "The Process." It was a fun route and the crux kind of revolves around a lock off move on a big flake to a left hand crimp, moving the right hand up to a moderate crimp and then getting your feet again to make a long reach to a pocketyish ledge. A good fun route and it was definitely nice to tick something like this on lead. I also got the chance to get back on "Ritz Bitz'' a really fun 10.c that I've really felt comfortable on since my first time and I think I might give it a shot on lead the next time down to King's. Post climbing, Andrew cruised over and we did some campusing and pull-ups and to I'm pretty good and sore now.

He got some shots of the climb and who knows if it's convertible to dvd I just might be able to post it on here!
