Climbing again today
Aug. 1st, 2008 08:07 pmI found a gym in Birmingham, making it basically on the way from where I was (Stoke on Trent) to where I am now (Heathrow). I climbed at Redpoint Climbing Centre. It had more routes than on Wednesday, but not as much height and not as much interesting texture or angles, though still more than I'm used to at Coyote. I bouldered for a bit, then picked out a trio and asked if they'd mind if I joined as a 4th. It went quite well. Again, made it up things in the 5+ range quite well, fell off a couple 6as, then completed a 6a+, though with some hangdogging.
With this gym, I've now climbed at 20 different climbing gyms in 4 different countries, including 10 states of the USA.
