Like the title says, it has been raining recently. . . A lot!
In some ways, this has been a bit of a good thing. I have been able to focus solely on training in the gym or on my home board (hockey stick) without the ever present thought that I may be making myself too tired for reasonable outdoor climbing on the weekend. As such, these past few weeks have been full of great training sessions. I've been doing a bunch of weighted hangboarding and recently started campusing on the smallest rungs on circuit's board. It was a bit of a shock to the fingers at first, but they have adapted quite nicely. I feel like I have made some significant gains in finger strength these past few months and can't wait to translate it to some real stone.
On another note, I'm getting pretty psyched for spring break and a week at Smith. I'm thinkin of heading off into the unknown (for me) and having a go at another classic line on the Monkey. After sending Spank the Monkey last year, I've been itchin to throw myself at the Backbone. It looks super rad and mega exposed! Gives me something to think about during those boring training sessions. . .
Runnin it out on Spank the Monkey
Till next time,
Eric
