A Video From Brooklyn Boulders at 8:23 AM

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...

Healing! Climbing In Florida at 5:49 PM

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!!
