Good week! Got through 4 sets of 3 by 3's on Wed night although the pump factor on the second set was way to high. My brachialis was still very tender but already feeling much better.
Out to Ratho today for the project routes. My arm did not trouble me at all and I was for the first time since Dec 18th able to crank hard and really go for it. Loads of good new routes to smash myself against as well.
Orange 6C - main wall - got 2/3 before first fall. A couple more attempts at the last section but couldn't make it stick.
Purple 6C - Right of tortoise shell - First fall at nasty pinch to 3 finger pocket - 2nd fall after getting over the overhang. Excellent route. I can do this route in a couple of week I think.
Red 6C+ - Lisandro masterpiece - Crimpy, balancey and technical. Got halfway to a tricky bouldery move that I could not stick. Awesome route.

Yellow 6B - Same line as Lisandro's - quite sustained crimpy stuff which I am weak on at the moment. I could do this route if I'd done it first.
White 6C - Line up the middle of the competition wall. About 10 clips so 1 clip less than 6 weeks ago. Not lost too much then. Good long fall.
Great day - feel I'll get back to where I was within a couple of weeks. Took some good sized falls - grunting and barking like a rutting stag on most of these routes but I was at my absolute limit so I don't care. Seems to be a lot of psyched kids and adults at the moment. Really good atmosphere in the arena.
A wee clip of Rosco on the campus board after his projects - he is so close to nailing 7A's at the moment. He didn't know I was filming him or it would have been forbidden or he would have tried harder and made more manly noises!
