hawkwing_lbClimbing tonight. The blue 5+, the blue 5/5+ on the slab and the yellow 5 immediately after; improved the blue 6b by three more metres after three failed attempts to get above the overhang, and seriously improved the grey 6b.
The grey 6b brought me my first real serious leap: a rather awkward dyno, but it got me the eight inches I needed to put my hand around the next hold (one point of contact! flying leap! two points of contact and swinging feet! such fun!). After that it got tricky, with a lot of stretchy reaching, some bridging, and a few awkward moments when I didn't know what the hell I should do with my feet. So I cheated, some, but I got to the top eventually.
But when I came to do the really straightforward grey 5+ on the overhang, my right elbow was annoyed with me, so I did not finish it.
Within smelling distance of the end of my essay on diasporas in antiquity. So. Close.
Soon, now, I can get back to Romans, and archaeology. For a while.
