With the Swizzy trip being a successes and getting some personal best out there with a font 7b+ flash and some 7a flashes I thought it could be a good time to start focusing on the hard sport lines that I’ve always wanted to get into.
I have made a rough plan on what routes I would like to do this year and what sort of level I want to be at for the end of the year. I know with doing this it can cause un wanted pressure but I have only made this plan a rough guide line.
With the weekend on its way I was thinking on what to do and were to go, boulder, sport.
It ended up with me and some friends heading down to Winspit, a limestone quarry at Swanage. I had a few routes in mind and was hoping they would be dry after all the rain we had in the last few months. We drove down with temps being around the 5° range and with a little bit of wind, so conditions were looking to be prime. After a short walk down we arrived to find that the most of the planned harder routes were wet but one stood out that was dry “rev head high roller” 7b/+.
After warming up on some easy routes I was starting to think weather I could do it as I hadn’t been on a rope for a long time and endurance was down. After a few goes on top rope Drew and I had managed to work out the crux. The only thing was now it was the end of the day and we were both spent. I will defiantly be back for this route and the others as the positions you get into and the moves you have to do are more suited to me at the moment after bouldering for the winter.
This weekend will be a hard one to choose as I have so many things to do and am so psyched I don’t know where to go first.
Roll on some actual training and more climbing.
