flashed a V4 for the first time today at my gym :blobraccoon: #climbinggym

Sketches after I gave a quick demo about rapidly sketching moving subjects with my local Urban Sketchers chapter at a climbing gym.

Overheard at the #climbinggym - "I heard Alex Honnold does that. He always stops to kiss the wall as he makes his way up."
-
Flashed this V5 with a very cool finish move. The black part of the wall is overhanging, which makes it hard to stay on the finishing sloper.

One from the "Try hard at White Spider" collection... Been a little broken since Nice; tweaked my elbow when I came back and it's been niggly since, so I've put the try-hard on hold a little. With the elbow complaining less, I figure it's time to apply a little and see. The cave was both a project and test - had had one session at it and struggled transitioning to the wall and also completing the final sequence but found it didn't tweak the elbow too much (no lockoffs!). Tuesday was cave day... Thursday was back to crimpy routes likely to tweak the elbow. Luckily the cave looks like it's up another month for another session, and the route seems doable with a little practice and try-hard. We'll see!

Had a flash go at this one when it was fresh and the route card wasn't up yet and got a little sandbagged. Still, it seemed pretty do-able... The route card now says... "What number is this, Chip?" (<Monkees joke)... Let's see...
With the new, improved, Paul Stoneman on belay.

Is 10 minutes enough time to recover between hard flash attenpts? Probably not, but oh, well! This one was just too tempting, and I was hoping the anecdotal evidence of it being easier wasn't wrong. Was it? Let's find out... Send or not?
Spoiler alert (or is it?): Thanks to Jon Koplin for keeping me alive with a solid catch!

Loving the new @whitespiderclimbing compwall set; nice progression and interestingly different from recent sets. Did all the "easy" ones last week and the wall's mostly been out for other setting when I've been in since, so now it's time to try nearer the top of my flash-grade. This blue has big @gazparry energy (lacking footholds, especially the crux!)... Or maybe @alex_patterson_climbing was just channelling him! 😂 Great route either way!

Of all the places to do pull-ups in a #climbinggym , the squat rack is easily the worst place

A neat history of how climbing gyms came to be!
Like many climbers starting nowadays, we get our start in gyms and make our way outdoors. A huge concept that made the entire sport much more accessible to regular people like me!

Another go at my little project by Yann Genoux at White Spider Climbing
I might not get it by the time it comes down, but I'm making progress! Top belaying and better send attempt after the video by Jeremy

After about another hour of projecting, my current high-point send attempt on this banging 7a by Yann Genoux at White Spider. Must remember to get my back foot up for the big rockover out left! Thanks to Jeremy Donaldson for the excellent catches on my bigger whips 🤣

After a few kinda frustrating tries to stick the crux after doing the really short (🤣) 40-odd move start, I finally sent this beast! 🥳At White Spider Climbing, Chessington, home of the sandbagged bouldering grade 😂

Damn, the #Seattle #ClimbingGym that I used to go to just raised their annual membership price by 25%, to almost the same cost as the gym I go to here in #NYC.
I remember when Seattle was comparatively cheap..

My typical #ClimbingGym session now is get up as many V3s as I can till it's hopeless (usually 3-5), then stick to V2s, which now all seem easy. Then weight machines.
My main fail mode is steep single-hand grip/crank moves. Maybe I should get a hang board or something.
Can't wait to get back on real rocks again.

Back when I was a #dirtbag climber bum, there were no climbing gyms, so this is a new thing to me.
An interesting cultural quirk that I noticed today: strangers don't seem to chat much with each other, cheer each other on, congratulate each other when someone pulls off a hard bouldering move or whatever.
Those things routinely happen on actual crags. At rock climbing areas, even shy little me can easily strike up conversations with people, but the bouldering part of the gym feels like any other gym where everyone is doing their own private thing. The vibe is more "gym" than "climbing."
It is what it is, I guess, but it feels lonely compared to rocks.

I never really post #climbing action shots, despite how much time I spend at the #ClimbingGym. Blue route was a surprisingly awkward 5.10, and the orange was a very soft 5.11 that I would suggest is also a 5.10. On-sighted them both!
Very happy with my progression the last few weeks. Currently able to flash the occasional V5 boulder, though I should mention my gym is notoriously soft on grades.
Planning to finally get #LeadClimbing certified soon. It is time!

OK, so I climb indoors a lot, too and I was really happy to get my first (admittedly probably a little soft) 7a cave roof at White Spider actually sent.

New city, new #bouldering gym. Glad I was able to check out Beta Boulders during my stay in Amsterdam!

Figured I ought to do a #introduction so here it is:
I'm into #climbing and love messing around on rocks. #Trad or #SportClimbing even #bouldering .I also climb indoors #climbinggym where I do most of my instructing. I'm a qualified instructor and coach for both indoor and (fairly newly qualified) outdoor climbing, so if if you're looking to get into climbing or improve, feel free to get in touch.
Other than that, I'm a massive geek, love #rpg and in a previous life, I did all kinds of #IT for a living. -
Three #climbing gyms across two different cities this week. Finished off the week back at my home gym. ❤️

I started climbing in spring of 2021, but have been injured 3 times since, so have really only climbed at my limit for about a year. Been laid up the last 6 months for a finger strain in June (it is STILL sore) and a shoulder injury in November. So my primary goal now is to follow a conditioning plan that reduces the risk of injury. A slow build to harder climbing.
Wish me luck. And patience.
