Yesterday's climbing was a mixed bag of fruit... it certainly pointed out some weaknesses of mine. An easy 6a with a one move wonder over a roof completely stumped me, then onto a very similar style 6b+ and completely stumped at the same point. I don't have any pull up strength, something I need to work on. However, we moved on to an unknown route, which probably felt 6a+ with a 6b crux but this was vertical and although it took two attempts, it was all about the feet and fingers and I was so much more comfortable on it - great route...
Andrew on the other hand was cruising yesterday, a slow start, a tweak in one of his fingers taking a while to warm up, but once warm hoped on a 7a+ cruised it to the chains ( so so close to the onsight and yet so far :( ) but fumbled there and ended up grabbing the chains and not taking the fall.... he made the route look so easy to that point that i questioned whether we were at the right one ( but it was ). We'll definitely be back to that, the tick has to be in the bag.
