Went back to First Ascent Uptown today for my climbing session. Today was a day of firsts.
I tried a V7 and V8 a few times…they did not end well. No worries though, it’s all part of the process of getting better.
Today was also the first time I’ve done campus boarding in a while. I feel like I’ve added a good amount of power and strength in the last half year, because it wasn’t nearly as taxing as I remember it being in the past.
There was a physical therapy student doing a study on climbers as well – I set (what I’m sure will be soon beaten) the high scores for grip and wrist flexion! It was interesting since it’s the first time I’ve had any sort of quantitative measurements done for climbing.
Here are the day’s stats:
