climbing

Vertical climbing is the best! My palms are still sweating after thinking of all the routes team Junwei did this morning..we woke up at 8am, had bfast etc etc and reached yishun at about 9am and climbed till 2pm.

Felt some improvement and breakthrough of e fear barrier whilst trying e red tile route on centre overhang graded 7B (although wilson says it is overgraded and should only be a 7a). Nevertheless, made some progress on each of my 3 tries..which is the way things should be!! On final try, couldn't do the last move to the top despite a long rest on the rope before that and at various points... Forearms Pumped to the maxxx! Weak!! Really got to thank wilson for being such a patient belayer. Think he had time to fall asleep while i shook out...haha..anyway it's really too hard for me. Think it will take me a lot a lot a lot more power endurance training before I can red-point that route.

But it was super fun...there was the 'project' feeling which was remniscient of climbing in krabi. Next trip will be next week, Wednesday (9am) at Yishun Safra...there's always time for climbing even during a study week! see u there.
