CATS again, early winter

I am feeling extra sore today after a session at CATS and then the Spot yesterday. CATS was lonely and cold but good enough for training hard. I tried one of James' "mundane V10" problems and realized I might never do it so went to work on the left Keen, easy V12 or so catsclimbing.com says. Things went much better there. So close on two moves, the rest either go or will definitely go. Small crimps, long tensiony reaches and a great challenge.

The Spot was much warmer and more crowded. Met up with Wade, Seth and Alex and did a few more easier problems, dispensing with two 5 minus and a 4 plus first try. Very tired after.

Thursday was a short session at the BRC, doing 11, 11-, 12-, 13- and 12 all first try. The 13- was one of the very few I have flashed at that grade in the gym. A good fight.

The weather has been awful so outside has been a real cat and mouse game with the weather. You work real hard inside to be ready when the weather window opens. This weekend it just didn't.

Do you think the BRC ratings are soft Peter?

I don't worry either way Dan. By the way I can't view your blog anymore.
