Training Sessions



I have been really enjoying my training for the last few weeks and I have been doing a lot of lead climbing when normally I prefer to boulder! Last week I started to time myself on the speed wall and can now do it in 1 minute (not quite as good as the climbers in the WYC) but I am getting better.
Yesterday Angus, Megan and myself had Euan for our post brycs session. We tried some of the comp routes on the old comp wall, I managed the blue 6b+, it had a very hard move at the top. I then tried the green 6c but I only got about a 1/4 of the way up and found it too reachy. Euan then took Megan and I to try the blue 7b that we had been trying previously. I climbed the blue 7b to half height and then continued up the tan 7a, Euan thought that made it a 7a+. I really enjoyed this session.
For the last two Sundays I have had my McGeek seesions. The first week was a lead climbing session and today we were setting boulder problems. In the first session we planned out my new route session for the next four weeks, I think I will really enjoy it apart from the laps at the end, I'd rather go out for a run. I really enjoyed this session. Today we set boulder problems in the bouldering room, I was a bit tired from my session yesterday and then Calum and Nat came over to set some problems on my new bouldering wall at home. Jaimie and Robbie his little brother and Lyndsay, Calums sister and Kirsten (MCGeek Squad) came as well and we were bouldering until 9pm as well as eating lots of chocolate and crisps. Mcgeek and I set a green sloper problem, I only managed to slap the last hold. The yellow one was very crimpy and I managed to top it. I love my sessions with McGeek.
