Skills update

This blog seems like waiting for some real adventures to happen. But until that happens, this blog and I will have to bide our time, continue my training and prepare for that big adventure.

Back in the gym this winter, I managed to break the 5.10 limit finally. Have got a few 5.10s clean, but largely projects for me. Mostly 5.10as, but working on a couple of 5.10bs & cs. (that's one each)

While cracking the 5.8 ceiling, i would simply tire myself, and built up my stamina.

5.9s challenged my tendons around my elbows and built up my balance.

5.10s seem to be challenging my finger tendons, and my footwork's critical for good climbing.

I have also quit smoking (since Dec 6-7th, if I don't consider the single puff I took on the 6th). Implying my overall hunger has gone up, and thus adding mass. Also, I have moved jobs. Implying I don't have the comfort of my midafternoon work out anymore.

Thus goes my training.
