I was busy setting boulder problems at the Beacon on Friday, it really takes it out of me now. I was utterly rinsed by the end of the day. To the extent that I took two days off this weekend to recover before besting myself again.
So today I headed out for an afternoon surf, it was so big I had to wait for another surfer to turn up to justify heading out. Safety in numbers! Anyway it was a good session and in between wiping out I manage to catch a couple of alright waves. Eventually a massive set ploughed through and having paddled for my life in a vain attempt to get outside the breaking wave, I was instead washed very unceremoniously up on the beach. I took it as a sign as did the other guy as we got out within seconds of each other.
So after that two hour warm up, I went to the wall this evening to check out the problems I set on friday. Had a good session, not too long and got nearly all the problems down stairs. I didn’t venture up stairs, as I am hoping to get there again tomorrow even for a longer session.
When I was there I was climbing with a couple of people and we were working on one of my problems. I has a rather flamboyant final crux. Which whilst not desperate is quite a burly move that requires a fair bit of grace. They seemed to enjoy it, which is good to know.
