10/13 and 10/17

So, I'd like to start off by apologizing to you, Heather, for not blogging asap. Please don't kill us again. On Tuesday, we began with a warm up which was easy but obsurdly difficult to down climb in the middle for me for no real reason. Then we spent a longgg time working on how to balance on a flat wall with no hands... and a little boy and his dad had a lot of fun watching the punishment... I didn't really get how to stay on the wall but I learned it's all about core muscles holding you close to the wall. When we moved over to the double corner it got easier and I climbed halfway up. The trick was to have your feet far apart and then to move one foot up, you had to turn your foot and shift your weight to your on stationery foot and your hands on the opposite wall. After this we spent a little while boudlering but we were pretty dead. On Saturday Liz and I did pyramids to build endurance. We picked a 5.5 and then took turns each climbing up once, then twice, three times, four times, and then three times, twice, and once again. I was really tired after all that. Also I couldn't really walk cuz of this cut on the back of my heel and I got a second pinky blister that has been killing me since.

  1. Yipes - climbing beat you up this past week!

    Hopefully today will be a little more gentle... I think we need a fun game to play!
