Pushed into 6b+ indoors today on toprope, only on slabs and vertical routes but managed 4 or 5 routes cleanly at that grade, all long routes upstairs at Castle so feel pretty satisfied. Not an amazing achievement compared to what some people are climbing in there but it feels good nonetheless. Think that only works out at about V4 ish roughly.
Plan for next week is to lead 6a+ over a wide range of routes and get a few more b's. Wish I had the time/money to go more regularly and build my endurance a little more as it's frustrating peaking early in the session just as everything starts falling into place. Need to up my crimp game. Can lunge and grab them almost every time but struggle to pull on them with crap foot holds :/
Liz starts her personal training at the Castle in a couple of weeks, well jealous.
