Rain, Rain, Rain!!

I supposed all this rain has got to be a good thing really...
Well maybe only for the likes of me, as my finger is still feeling pretty weak :/
Went over to Anglesey Sunday, Monday hoping to get some milage in in the way of long mountain trad routes.. But obviously the weather had other plans.
So ended up in the dive that is the Beacon, was good as it made me realise how lucky we are at Liverpool getting most of the routes changed every 3 months and the bouldering changed every 2 months oh and not to mention the clean holds.
Some of the routes in the Beacon were there from September 09!
Anyways ended up climbing and my finger felt ok, just a few little tweaks but then woke up Monday and it was sore again :(
So hard being disciplined in the training, gonna have a session tonight at the wall but just some milage on easy routes.

On the other hand i have booked the ferry for our trip to Switzerland in September!!!

PSYCHED!!!

Bouldering World Cup/ good week/ injury :/

What a weekend!
Went to Sheffield at the weekend to watch the boulder world cup, what an amazing time.
Some of the strength from the guys and girls was amazing.
Adam Ondra is on another level compared to everybody else, he is an absolute mutant! this guy has made me want to quit climbing haha.

Thursday & Friday last week were pretty strong days for me.
Headed to Pantymwyn on Thurs for the first time with the psyche to get Firestarter (7a) done.
Not only did i make short work an do it forth time but also managed Panty's Down which is 7a+
Then Friday headed up to the South Lakes back to Woodwell and Trowbarrow. Another good session as we headed to O'ert Road at Woodwell and i managed to flash Angel Deelite (7a) my first ever flash at 7a :D

However... with all the good news something bad always happens
Just come home from the wall and somehow managed to strain my A2 pulley on my ring finger on my right hand.
ARGHH!!! i'm so frustrated because i felt like all the training was paying off then it just goes one step too far :(
just going to rest now for the rest of the week and hopefully i might be able to climb at the weekend.
Just going to keep fit by running and doing core sessions.
