Another awesome lesson. Tonight was rope drills.

First, we did a full gym traverse with straight arms. I made it most of the way. A few sections I can’t do yet. Hand strengh just isn’t there.

For the rope drills we chose a rope and did all the climbs on that rope within our abilities back to back, 3 times! Yup, 9 climbs back to back, no rest. I started with a 5.7, 5.8, and a 5.10. Couldn’t do the 5.10 well so Mattie had me just ram thru the other two. I am so knackered!

After that we did mat excercises. More core work, with 3 cycles of planks, bicycles, pushups, toe-taps, obliques, leg lifts, side planks. Whew!
