Some climbing
Got some good routes done today at Palladium. Definitely had some awkward positioning, but it was a really great climbing session. The black route up the chimney was pretty fun, but there are definitely some routes up there that try my grip and I wasn't able to accomplish this time around. Kenway had some sweet climbing moves on the new 'Baklavarrrrgh' route, nabbing a two finger hold off a reach, and Eric made some nice progression, completing a route to the left of the chimney that had stumped him a few times. Brian is a climbing monkey, tearing through multiple routes, though I think the lack of chalk + grease on the rocks became a problem towards the end (i.e. the tiger route)
Not much else to say!

Thanks for taking us n00bs shopping yesterday Kenway. Everyone seemed happy with their harnesses, although Eric's feet were probably unhappy at the end.
Endurance was a lot better this time, probably due to some basic efficiency. Got to finish one of the other blue boulder problems, and got stuck on a new one (white, with the hard start).
Everybody's progression is excellent! This is a point in the learning curve where you make big gains with minor technique (and mental) improvements - the more practice, the better...
Note the monkey in the pic using his legs (not to mention his tail) to to take some of the load off his arms.
