Back home with the most indoor type climbing imaginationable

Some pictures from my font-trip

[assumption-cookie]

Just got back from my first outdoor bouldering trip. I went to Fontainebleau and had a blast! But it was also incredibly humbling; climbing outside is soo hard!!

This video I get really close to topping this 6b, but indoors you almost never topout so I'm not that good at it and I don't manage to get all the way up this one. The hardest I managed to do was a 6a+ but I didn't film that one unfortunately. Might post some pictures later.

Currently community grading has this at 6c, but I voted 7a because I thought it was really hard.

Very tiny 2-3 finger crimps, pulling hard with the left foot to get your hips into the wall enough, a difficult to figure out sequence; to me that's hard.

Did another 7a today! Two in a row is pretty good for me, I have been trying this one for a while and finally made it happen

Funny little 7a

I was falling of the move towards the second big hold, so decided to film to see if I could figure out what was wrong with my leg placement; first time filming it and I sent the entire boulder!

Pretty tricky 7a I did today

[assumption-cookie]

Did my first one arm pullups today. The form is still bad of course, but I'm really happy with this progress

[assumption-cookie]

Powerful crimpy 7a, first 7a in a few weeks because I've been busy with life, so I felt really happy about this one. I fell off the last hold many times, until I realised the dropknee and held it. Send go isn't flawless but it's fine

[assumption-cookie]

Fun 7a+, I wasn't quite sure how I'd do the end, so my leg leaves frame; but my foot's just planted against the wall, nothing special going on there luckily.

[assumption-cookie]

7a perfectly in my style, though I don't think I did the intended beta since I didn't use the huge hold on the volume. Not sure how you could use it though

My favourite boulder from the comp last week

I probably could've done it in one go, but on my first attempt I didn't get high enough on the big hold; I aimed at where the no-tex stopped, but it still goes up a bit after that, ah well I got it on my second go then and first go today. (And it was a friendly comp anyway)

[assumption-cookie]

I set another problem on the 50° kilter board! It's called pinch bitch!

I'm the only one who's really attempted it so far, so it's kinda hard to give it a grade, but I said 7a+ and I think that's fair. But please do give it a try and grade it

Tricky piano-match on this 7a.

Campus Strength Benchmark 7a+ on a 30° kilter board. I did it on the 50° before, and thought that was a little bit easier, but it's hard on both. Might try to also do it on 40° at some point.

So I filmed this one in slow-motion because 1.) I quite struggled with the second to last move, the big one to the crimp; My foot would slip off and I wanted to see if that happened before or after my hand reached the right height for the hold so slow-mo would give me a bit more detail, and 2.) I thought the jump would look cool. The slow-mo does look cool, but it also make the light flicker even in the part I want to see in real time so that kinda sucks, and it feels, but I'm not sure, like the framerate is less consistent when it's higher. idk, I probably won't film a lot in slow-mo in the future

[assumption-cookie]

Getting the left foot up at the start was quite tricky, and after that it was just scary, but not too hard. I couldn't see the foothold I went to with my right foot, and it felt like I was not even a little stable on there.
