The boozing has started to ease off...I've been at a spa today sweating it out and I'm really keen to start getting fit again as we go into the fall, which is a good sign. The road to some decent fitness started yesterday at the Lake District based Bowderstone. More on this quality lump of stone below.
Right now, aside from upping the climbing intensity, we are hunting for a van conversion to get out to Europe for fall conditions. I am seriously seriously hoping that this auto purchase will be third time lucky for us because after the Beetle debacle in Africa our UK based car (a 1999 Rover) blew up on Saturday. Anyway I've spent far too long on these sort of epic car episodes in the last few weeks so heres some straight climbing stuff...
Aside from just getting a good work out from climbing on the Bowderstone, which is pretty easy as its nice and steep, I wanted to try and get as many of the classics done in a two hour sess. This would include Inaudible Vaudeville (7b+), which is basically a class dyno (below) followed by another big move to a finishing jug
This was followed by Picnic Sarcastic sit (7b, image below) and Power Pinch (7b, image below that). I did fail miserably on Coming Up For Air, another cool 7b, that really highlighted my lack of fitness. Big holds galore, but 3 moves in I was pumped silly and its pretty long. Still ill try and get back for that before I leave...
