Dec 2024

4 Dec -- Hard bouldering
autobelay warmup (up and down each route 9,10b,10a,10c, 10c, 10d -- failed, too pumped for this last one)
+
alpha wall @25 degrees:
V4 x4
V5
+ a few attempts on other V4s and V5s no success



7 Dec - bouldering

Autobelay warmup
+
some bouldering

NOTES: was gonna do something with the session, but I got pulled out early, so it was really just a warmup then leave




11 Dec -- hard bouldering

Auto belay warmup (up and down)
+
mixed bouldering (some new routes were put up, oe V4 of note, otherwise lower)
+
alpha wall @25 degrees
No sucessfull climbs, tried several V4's and V5s

Notes: I must have climbed all the V4's and V5s I'm cabable of at this angle, There are several that remain though as good long term projects





15 Dec -- power endurance

autobelay warmup (up and down)
+
some V3-V4 boulders
+
2:2 DC up V3, down V2, up V2, down V1, up V3 down V2

NOTES: only sucessfully completed the circuit the first 2 rounds. the 3rd round, I couldn't make it up the 2nd V2. 4th and 5th, couldn't make it up the 2nd V2, so I hung around the V1 for the duration of the time





18 Dec -- endurance

Autobelay up and down
3 sets of 6 routes up and down
5.8, 5.10a, 10b,10a, 9,10b (I think)

So that's 18 u/d or 36 total rounds
~10 mins rest between. 20 mins total






22 Dec -- regular climbing

V0-V6 ladder up

NOTES: new set in the bouldering wall so I proceeded to try and climb all the routes. Could climb all but one last V5




NOTE: as of 23 December, I went in for a hernia surgery and now will not be able to climb or do any other vigorous exercise for about 3 months. Next notes will be in late March or early April I guess :/


I guess as a plus, this gave me an excuse to do my aspiring annual multiday fast.
Last ate dinner the evening of Dec 22nd, surgery was on the 24th. Technically, there was some nutrition when IV glucose was provided. Then I was asked to eat some rice porridge and some wonton soup for breakfast on the 25th. Didn't have another real/big meal until 26th around 2pm (also wontons, pork filled, about 15 in chicken soup). Which was pre-broken with some grapes and a blended apple (apple sauce essentially) a few hours before.
