good news

My finger is almost ok. I did something to it a couple of weeks back when was jerking off on rock-rings. Basically i had a shooting pain in my forearm every time a ring finger on my right hand would hook something.  And I still have some weird (hard to describe) unpleasant sensation in that part of my hand/palm/fingers. But I can climb and it was ok up to a point where i tried to climb overhanging 5.11a with stupid holds.

Other good news I fell from 5.11c just once and only because it had a loose hold (lame excuse but true). So I feel good about my progress. Also trying to loose some excessive weight (and of course i mean fat). That has been on my mind for a while. I must say that watching your calories works very well.

Other than that I just climbed from 4 to 6 on the campus board, with a single-step increments. Could not do that before, when my finger was not injured.

bouldering

elbow pain is not good. But it's mostly gone now. I guess my tendons' strain tolerance level got higher, will see tomorrow.

progress report

While I am feeling comfortable with several 5.11b routes I still suck on V4. But my confidence is growing and nowhere it was a month ago.

fail

I tried 5.11b/c and I failed numerously. That's discouraging. But I should've start with no overhang route, of course.
Campusing on the other hand is progressing a bit. At least i can do more than just hang on :) Even if that costs me some skin.
