  1. An unexpected opportunity for New Roof Day at White Spider presented itself on Friday - I was expecting autobelay laps, but Jon and Simona showed up and the plan changed. These are as far as we got; the "medium" routes across the muffins. So far the routes are at least interestingly different from the typical roof set, though the grades seem a little "off", possibly in part because even jugs felt greasy and slippery. Good? Well it was a very hot, sweaty day up in the roof, and I was kinda tired from a high-effort outdoor day Wednesday, so for the moment I'll just go with "interesting"...
    Will have to get up there again - hopefully when the weather's a little cooler - and try some of the harder ones (and, of course one of these again...)!

  2. Another slab done! This one was part of the finalists boulders for a junior comp. The footholds during the first half were beyond bad and reaching up to the undercling was a tricky move, can't imagine how hard that must be for children half my size. Glad I finally got it!

  3. Did my first V6 slab boulder. I fell off the start move about 20 times and 20 times more off the rest.

  8. ...So yesterday was "New Roof Day" at @WhiteSpiderClimbing - always a fun time as it doesn't happen so often. So many fun routes and a great set, but 5(ish) laps of the roof didn't leave enough left in the tank to try the hard ones; next time, maybe! Thanks to Jon for the belay, company, and enthusiasm.

  11. So, White Spider Climbing are hosting a fundraising event for the very worthwhile Climbing Out of Depression charity started by the excellent Be Fuller. 16th August

    Sadly, as far as I know, all the above have so far not found the fediverse (or maybe I haven't found them here...?) so I thought I'd post it.

    Turns out climbing is excellent for mental health. Check it out, come along.

  13. 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!

  14. Today was my first clean 6c+ / 7a (UIAA 8) after almost two years from the first one.

    Super happy about it 🎉 🧗It made my day 🥹

  15. 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.

  16. 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!

  17. 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!
