Friday's #Bouldering session done 👍 Surprisingly effective, did expect a worse performance due to reasons... Glad to see I was wrong!
Couple new routes that we had fun with, and I was on a good path towards doing the roof f6a one again but an ill timed foot cramp stopped that from happening.
First time #bouldering in my new hometown #munich. Turns out I can still move on the wall.
But it also seems like bouldering is not the right kind of climbing sport for me anymore. It has become too detached from outdoor rock climbing, which is what I want to train for indoors.
So, ich guck jetzt, dass ich jede Woche einen #boulderofthweek poste. Einen Boulder, den ich in der jeweiligen Woche geschafft habe.
Angefangen mit einem Dyno, der meine erste Route im vierten von sechs Schwierigkeitsgraden in unserer Halle ist.
Nicht der cleanste Take, aber der, den ich aufzeichnen konnte. Letzte Woche lief der besser. 🙂
Yet another #bouldering session this morning. Fighting my head a bunch of times that went "nope nope nope" while I wanted to go "yep yep yep".
And even though having to win over my head is the biggest fight I usually have on the wall (vs strength and such), I still think it's good that my head and I are listening to each other when it comes to identifying danger, potential compensation options and re-evaluation. 🤝
About 2 months ago, I injured my fingers while #bouldering. It was a really stupid route where there were no good footholds when you reach the last crappy two-finger hold (I'm still mad at the route setters for that).
I skipped a week of climbing, & the next few weeks I avoided using those fingers. It was feeling better, so after a month I went back to climbing harder & re-injured the fingers (I'm still mad at myself for that).
After a very stressful week (wish me luck that the biggest stressor will get resolved asap please) a #bouldering session this morning helped to decompress a bit. Head was not in the right space for some routes, but I still managed to get some done, including a 2min 36 hold traversal.
Lesson learned: if my head is going "if you now slip on this slippery hold, you'll hit that sharp edge of this volume right with your shin" I should listen to it & abort my attempt.
This morning's #bouldering session was interrupted by a quite sharp pain when said scenario indeed played out between my right shin & the lower volume in that picture, and I now get to enjoy a quite painful lower leg with a big bruise forming 😅
Still could finish some easier routes after, no long term harm done.
First time #bouldering in two weeks. And sadly my fear of heights came back and prevented me from finishing a whole bunch of routes. Back to fighting that down again I guess!
Today's #bouldering session helped clear my head. It wasn't as successful as I hoped, many more routes attempted than finished, but spending time puzzling over boulder problems and joking around with friends was good for me after some strong blues yesterday.
Now I hope the soreness won't be as horrible as that from the last session, it took until this morning for my muscles to no longer hurt AF 😅
Lol the extremely ungraceful exit as I finish a route, slip while deciding whether to downclimb, and hit the ground (well, the mat) with a loud grunt. #climbing#bouldering
Hey @godotengine, look at this cutie @fahrstuhl made for my birthday! 🤩 Complete with wobbly eyes, which obviously is a must-have these days! (CC @kenney)
