I beat my daddy up the 6a overhang on Tuesday.

I kept working on re-acquiring my strength and my callouses. And I also managed to send a slabby problem with holds so tiny (and so few) that I'd been back for weeks before I noticed it was actually there.

It had lost its grade tag, but one of the regular route-setters estimated it at around a V5.

I'm figuring he may have been generous because he knows I've been in hospital for ages, but it was at least a V4, I think. And just my cup of tea, all balance and terror *g*.

No climbing for me this week (due to the GP having BURNT A HOLE IN MY FOOT earlier in the week. At my request, obviously, but it still hurts :( ). But I went up to the Castle last Sunday & did fun stuff, despite getting my arse handed to me by a bafflingly difficult 4C. (I can normally do 4C! We concluded in the end that the move in question required both strength (which my partner has more of than me) & technique (which I have more of than him), and thus neither of us could quite manage it, although I came close.

I did do some good footwork-training stuff (climbing a 4B no-holds-for-feet), which pleased me.

Sekrit Message: okay to suggest disobey_gravity for the Three Weeks of Dreamwidth spotlight?

(I am thinking about the mod thing. Honestly.)

I seem to have got my leading nerve back. I led 2 6b routes at the gym yesterday, which I've been scared of doing for ages.
