Learning to Climb

After a 2 week trip to Font the fingers are feeling amazing! just think the milage that was done was just what Dr Donnelly ordered. haha.
Climbing in Font certainly is of a different standard to anywhere else within the world, you can go from one day getting totally shut down on a 6a classic problem to crushing a 7a third go the next.
the title of this post is certainly what was needed, second trip this year and managed to up my game even though i have been injured and not trained for 8 weeks prior to the trip.
Overall i managed to get 2 7a's done and a 7a+ now in my eyes to climb at your personal best in the place where bouldering was born and after not training was a real achievement.
I actually feel like i have come back from the trip feeling fresher, having a better outlook on climbing and being re-psyched once again to train an improve my general conditioning again.
So onto the next trip to Kalymnos in October.
best dust off the harness, rope an draws an get doing some routes.
One goal for the next trip gonna keep is simple an realistic to do 2 7a's while there!

Lets see what happens with 3 weeks training, haha!
