Day 1
So Saturday 18th the GB Bouldering Team met at Awesome Walls Sheffield for our final training session and end of season review and also to do a bit of leading for a change of scenery! After briefing for the day we were giving a challenge of completing 12 climbs at various levels to do in 2 hours. I was with Joe and we successfully completed it in 1 hour 40! In the afternoon we had to do as many rounds of 4 climbs as we could again at various difficulty levels and I managed to get 2 and a ¼ rounds done in an hour and 15. It was a good stamina exercise and something that I can incorporate in to off season training . We had an hours power yoga which was pretty cool and fun but really tiring after doing loads of routes. After this we went for a meal in Sheffield with everyone at Pizza Express and it was a good chilled ending to the season. Rachel put together some mini team awards and I got Mr Happy! 🙂 Dom came back to mine overnight and then we got up early ready for the next day.
Day 2
On Sunday we went to the Plantation Stanage to hit the grit, it was perfect conditions- dry and windy, the wind was very strong on the ridge! I think I have progressed on my outdoor bouldering and I got higher on the harder climbs than I have done before. Definitely has made me want to get outside more over winter to see how much I can improve. Here are some pictures of the day. PS the Christmas pudding hat was out early due to a special request from Tom! 🙂
