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!
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. 🤝
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.

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.
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.
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. 🙂
My name is Sean. I'm a broke, bi artist living in Cape Town, South Africa.
I work as an #actor#model and #voiceover.
I busy myself with #tennis#bouldering#reading and #writing (sci-fi and fantasy mostly).
I hope to find and belong to a #community where I can feel safe and creatively inspired.
Expect links to things I find interesting and perhaps some more intimate posts of my thoughts, performances or writing samples.
Climbing is good fun, try it! Bouldering, like the gif example, is an easy entry into the activity of climbing. Just put on your climbing shoes and try the wall.
Doing boulder climb is a lot of joy. I enjoy the challenge of problem solving and the finer aspect of technical and balance movement. Yes I prefer (indoor) slabs but power moves are okay too.
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.
