11-12 Dec

Not much climbing on Saturday, I visited Morgan and Erica's so I just did a half hour attempt on this V2 in indian cove which always gets me, then otherwise did some easy (5.3-5.6) soloing. Sunday I got a V5 second go, but I don't feel it was a "real" V5. But I guess ... new grade? Then I did the usual attempts on gunsmoke. Average attempts

15 Dec -- Hangboard Repeaters #14

1 ----------------- 6S
2 ----------------- 6S (-17.5) (oops, misread and added too much counterweight)
3 ----------------- 6S (-20)
4 ----------------- 5S-5 (-45)
5 ----------------- 5S-9 (-37.5) 
6 ----------------- 5S-8 (-17.5)
7 ----------------- 4S-9-5 (-42.5)  
8 ----------------- 4S-6-6 (-27.5) 
9 ----------------- 4S-6-8 (-30)

NOTES: I was dissappointed that my last few hang sessions I was getting worse, I think part of this was it was getting too cold (30-37 at night/early in the morning). So today I waited until noon (when it was 48F) and I did better

18 Dec - Outdoor bouldering.

Fantastic day! Two V3's, two V1's, and a classic had V0 offwidth. One of the 3s and one of the 1s were very difficult when I tried them each months ago. (Each of the others were a bit soft)

19 Dec - outdoor power endurance

No sends, tried a V4 and V2 then worked gunsmoke. Had a descent first attempt. I fell at the crux but felt like if I made it, I ould have powered through the enduro section to the corner.

22 Dec -- Hangboard Repeaters #15

1 ----------------- 6S
2 ----------------- 6S (-12.5)
3 ----------------- 6S (-17.5)
4 ----------------- 6S (-45) -- solid, ready to increase
5 ----------------- 6S (-35) 
6 ----------------- 6S (-15)
7 ----------------- 5S-8 (-42.5)  
8 ----------------- 5S-7 (-27.5) 
9 ----------------- 4S-8-7 (-30) -- felt like I gave up too early

NOTES: Did this around 11:30 57F (colder than that inside though). Happy to be on the up. There's benefit in pushing the counterweight before a "perfect 6" is done
