Back to bouldering

After last week's disastrous attempt at bouldering, Jess and I gave it another shot tonight. Jess did a V1, and then struggled with V2s and V3s the rest of the night. I think she finished a second V1 too. I did V2, V3, V4, V5 (5F), V4 (success after many tries), V5 (5F), V4.

It was definitely a good night for me with two V4 onsight. But the most rewarding was the one that took me many tries. The ending was really tricky, with a pinch match, then a cross to an egg shape that was a bit to small to cup it completely and thus you had almost no friction, just fingertips. From there you move your left hand to a huge sloper which barely gives you friction, but its good enough to move your right foot high to the right, getting your body more or less horizontal, and then going for the final move. Really a great problem, just at the limit of my capabilities.

Tomorrow I am leaving for the lone star state, I'll bring my sneakers and maybe I'll manage to do some kind of hotel workout like Kenway.
