Back to Climbing
So for the first time in 9 months, I got back up on the rock. And it was awesome. I got back up and rocked a bunch of really fun routes. I also came 1 hold away from finishing two pretty challenging 5.9′s as well.
I’m actually rather surprised, I may have pulled one 5.9 before, but I was able to do it a bunch. I think it may have to do with the level of fitness now, verses when I last climbed. I’m definitely stronger, and my endurance is also higher. I’ve also managed to gain back about the same level of flexibility I had at the time. And my weight has remained about what it was.
I’m also really happy because, while it’s not boulding (which I really love), top roping doesn’t have that high an impact, so I can do it while I’m rehabbing my shin. I also don’t have to worry about falling and reinjuring my left ankle. So yeah, it was a lot of fun tonight. Plus, I met some cool people since I was at a gym I hadn’t gone to before. ^_^
