Yay!

Finally managed to climb the grade 10 that's been taunting me for weeks! My problem until now has been that I don't approach it until after I've done one or two other climbs, and by that stage I'm a bit tired. I end up stopping to decide on moves, and the longer I spend hanging on while considering my next move, the tireder I get.

This time I made it the first climb of the day, and didn't let myself get bogged down too long on any one spot. I think my endurance* has improved a bit, and I certainly had a bit more confidence this time around. I didn't climb much else today, but still happy with that :-)

*Endurances, really. Fingers and body each have their own limits, and I'm getting a bit better at not running out of finger strength while the rest of the body is still going.

Whoo-hoo!

I need to get back to walking every day. Of course the heat and the rain haven't been helping.

This is excellent news.
