Climbing? Training? Locked down? Opening up? Vaccinated? Half-vaccinated? Pinged?

That's a great video. I love seeing older climbers kick ass.

I had a bad day of climbing last weekend. But it was still better than a day of no climbing. Hopefully I'll be more successful this weekend.

Took L today & he tried a V1! And fell off it. (But the challenge I gave him was "try it and fall off it" so he succeeded :) ) He's doing fine on almost all the V0s (except a few with longer stretches, though he's getting more creative about getting around those) but there seems like a big jump to the V1s. Mind you I find the same a grade up, so. He'd like to go more often so I'm going to try to work out where we can fit it in from September. (In theory, home ed = loads of time to do things! but in fact we have many things already!)

(Edit: he also tried to coach me up a problem & told me very sagely, after we'd agreed that we knew what I should probably do, and I'd explained that I couldn't manage to make myself try it, that the real problem was my imagination getting the better of me, and that I needed to use my imagination to think *positive* not *negative* things. Wholly true :) )
