I love climbing. That’s all there is to it. Hooked.

First day of x-team training at Vertical World Seattle was great! Started with a traverse of the gym to warm up, then a try at the footwork puzzle. Didn’t get all the way thru but got farther than I thought I would. The puzzle involves placing your feet on particular holds, following a numeric sequence. Wild!

Main training today centered on weight distribution but morphed into climbing without bending the arms, without doing pullups the whole route. So lots of swinging of the hips and rotating. Very cool! Did two 5.6 to warm up then moved on to 5.7 and 5.8 climbs, all with straight arms! Brutal!

Class ended with a nice 20 min abs workout.

I’m psyched for Thursday now!
