I was previously at my strongest (climbing-wise) in Jan/Feb 2020, UK Lockdown 1 and a lack of access to training put an end to that.
Took me months to start clawing it back- These 2 photos were taken just before UK Lockdown 2, when I was just starting to get back into the groove of things.
I didn’t get a lot of chance to train during UK Lockdowns 2 + 3 or the gap between due to travelling with work, so coming back to it this week (April 2021) has been super hard. (Being 6kg heavier at 76kg isn’t helping either).
This year, I plan on getting back to sending V6′s again, and maybe get my first V7 too. I finish my current job in July to start Uni in Sept, so I need to get as fit as possible! (Already working on the diet side of things.
So good to be on a #ClimbingWall again 🧗🏻♂️ Not so good for a manicure (if I had one) 💅🏻 . . @TheCastleClimbingCentre #TheCastle #TheCastleClimbing #TheCastleClimbingCentre #Climbing #ClimbingCentre #IndoorClimbing #IndoorClimbingGym #IndoorClimbingWall #IndoorClimbingCentre #Bouldering #BoulderingWall #IndoorBouldering #IndoorBoulderingGym #IndoorBoulderingWall (at The Castle Climbing Centre) https://www.instagram.com/p/Cb2k467IGnt/?utm_medium=tumblr
Here’s the video of my second attempt to send so I could get my success on camera. Too bad I wasn’t so lucky. 😭😭 Man… When I completed this problem, it felt was great and I actually hung on to the end for several seconds like a badass!! Uggggh, if only it was on camera. Next time!
Halfway through my climbing having fasted for so many hours I broke my fasting with a Builder’s protein bar. Here I start off in the training wall and try to stay clear of the more challenging climbs. My odd bit of nourishment helped when I realised I did not have the strength to swing my arms up to the higher grips. Not sure when will climb again but at the least gave it a go. #climbing #indoorbouldering #yonder (at Yonder) https://www.instagram.com/p/CRw12kwDfTP/?utm_medium=tumblr

Feeling mega strong today, but technique is rusty from the snowpocalypse😭 #bouldering #indoorbouldering #climbing #vegan #vegangains #pdx (at The Circuit Bouldering Gym Northeast)
This was the “Route of the Week” at my local gym this week, purposely set to be either a slow methodical static route OR a quick dynamic one if you do chose. I struggled with the static method due to the route setter being a tall lanky bastard, so I opted to do the Dyno.
Finally nailed the technique, then when it came to record it I could no longer get it cleanly, probably from being too tired. This was the best one I caught on video, it will have to do!
It might seem I’m struggling but is it very good reason because I had already spent two hours on my ninja circuit before I arrived at the climbing centre in Colchester. Yeah I am actually climbing or rather walking upside down on the ceiling or rather under ceiling @colchesterclimbingproject @ninjawarrior @ultimateninjauk #knackered #lacticacid #indoorbouldering #strength #corestrength #armstrength #olderadults #olderadultfitness #nevergiveup #nevergiveuphope #fitnessmotivation #lunatic (at Colchester Climbing Project) https://www.instagram.com/p/BsjFnQWHRM5/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=3bzwff5skpcz
Dad got me some rock climbing shoes for my birthday which is coming up in June!! I cannot believe how different each brand is when it comes to sizing. I tried like 4 brands and the sizes I could fit in ranged from 6 - 8. 🤨
Also, REI sucked me into a membership. Got 20% off the shoes and another coupon for 20% online. Annnnnd being a member means the profits from the stuff I buy goes to helping wildlife, trails, parks, etc etc so yay!!
