July 2017

20JUL:

It's been just over a year since I last posted. That's the problem with these things "training logs" and whatever just get hard to be motivated to maintain.

Attached is a photo of my most recent Mountain Project stats














Seeing that it has now been over 3 years that I've begun climbing, I've just ordered a hangboard (My finger tendons should be able to handle the stress now) Trango Rock Prodigy.

Current goals:
Be comfortable climbing 11- sport outside

How to get there: Pyramiding. I read somewhere something like "Dani Andrada reportedly redpointed over 50 13a's before attempting a 13b" Or something like that. So before getting to low 11's I need a sufficiently large 10+'s OS or RP

As of now:
10a   10 total:    9 OS (1 solo) , 1 RP
10b   5 total?    (2 multipitch so the numbers are a bit off)
10c   3 maybe
10d   2   1OS 1RP
11a   1 (maybe) 1 pitch of a multipitch (babyface)
11b   0
11c   0
...     0

So it appears I need to do more 10b's and c's (probably a few more 10a's TBH)

21JUL
Did Igor unchained. A classic 5.9+ sustained on trad. Pulled gear and fell twice so apparently I'm not a 5.9 climber yet (can't truely be a 5 anything climber unless you can climb that grade in all styles [trad, crack, very old, etc.])

22JUL
Did a tough TR of an 11+ finger to hand crack (pretty sure I skipped the actual 11+ part anyway :[ )

29JUL
Did 29 boulder problems for my 29th Birthday with my lovely girlfriend
