So it's been a while since I posted so I thought I'd put a quick one up for any of you that still follow. I've had a big break from climbing and have finally got the bug back for it. This has no doubt been reignited by getting some Metolious rockrings for Christmas from Hannah. It now means I can train at home and so don't have to worry about the time taken out of my PhD.
I'll no doubt get a fingerboard soon but these will be a great way to start getting my fingers used to the demands of climbing.
I haven't been idle though, rest assured! I've been training hard at the gym trying to work on the weaknesses that I had developed. This has meant hitting the weights 4 times a week and really focusing on working specific lagging body parts to bring everything up so I'm more balanced!
I'm hoping this has had the desired effect. The plan is to carry on at the gym, training on the rings and finger board at home and either get down the wall or get out at weekends. Hopefully all these things combined will lead to a more fruitful year climbing wise. If I can get get back to climbing 7a (well more than 1) then I'll be super please but at the moment I'm just looking forward to climbing again, whatever that happens to be!
Happy New Year guys! I hope it's a good one filled with lots of fun and laughter!!
