I know, I know, I've been terribly lax about this lately. But, in honor of someone who got to go climbing this week after a long lag, I'm bringing back the Friday glee.
(One single solitary V5, and it was one that happened to be perfectly suited to my strengths, so really a statistical outlier. But I'm still ridiculously proud of it.)
But I've promised myself not to put pressure on myself to get back to where I was instantly, or stress about having lost ground; I just wanted to enjoy what I can do right now.
But, yes, it's good not to put pressure on yourself. All climbing is good climbing. (Um, unless you're, like, free soloing five hundred feet up, or ignoring your belay partner, or something equally silly. That's not good climbing. But generally speaking. *g*)
