Hey! Short update:
After I climbed in florida, I climbed for 3 days straight, which is a huge improvement from the past month of injury!
I have no endurance and I'm very very sore. Over the weekend I climbed at Brooklyn Boulders, It's always really fun there!
I just wanted to put up a video that I took of a pretty V7 I sent there.
I sent the problem, got really pumped, and took a vid. In the vid i dont send it.
I guess you dont have to believe me that I sent it in 3 tries, or that i sent it at all, lol
But here's the video nonetheless
btw: after changing a tire last saturday during the apocalyptic weather, I hurt my wrist a little bit...It seems to be getting back to normal again, it just got a little swollen.
Hueco is a week from friday! need to build endurance...
I don't know what happened.
It's been 5 weeks since I sprained my wrist. Everyday it felt as if it was sluggishly healing, hardly improving.
On saturday night, feeling crappy as it usually does, my brother did this anti-swelling trick on my wrist. I was like, lol...what do you mean you know a trick? and then he did it and i was like uh huh...whoaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa
Also, during the day as i was stretching it, I cracked it by accident...It hurt but idk. maybe that contributed too...i have no idea.
I think God just decided it was time. and i am very very very thankful.
My wrist has finally healed from its sprain! so i climbed in florida, totally had no endurance but had some amounts of strength.
The gym was called Aiguille, and is based in orlando.
For a gym that doesn't have real rock within a 100 mile radius, they do really well! the problems were very thought out, very fun with the features and angles, and had some tweaky beta.
I was glad i got to climb my hardest once again. It really felt amazing.
I woke up this morning and my forearms were sore for the first time in over a month. I am very very happy.
and my wrist still feels good! praise God.
So here's a video of some of the climbs.
Sorry bout the quality, I was just intending on climbing...lol
V9- the move after is the crux, very tiny crimp and a throw to an ok edge
V6- Holds are small slopey crimps except for the big left hand pinch. I didnt think i could even start this one when i looked at the bad feet.
Last problem- As i upload this video, i want to go back and campus the finishing move...it felt possible that way, but i was wayyy pumped outtt.
So! I feel good! I'll keep you posted. hopefully ill be sending some really aesthetic projects real soon!!
