metrowednesday (03.09.11)

It's a shame I haven't posted in such a long time, because it's really fun to look back and watch my progress as a rock climber.
I've been consistently going at least once every two weeks since I started back in the fall, and more recently, I've started going multiple times per week because I have a monthly membership for March (thanks Groupon!!).

Today, I climbed with Eddie and his roommate Lisa. Having a 3 person rotation was nice, since I'm still a little sore from yesterday.

5.9, pink, back corner near crackwall. Too easy.
5.10a, orange, overhung. Took a lot of breaks on the overhang. I avoid overhangs because they're hard... but I'm going to try and do this climb everytime I'm at MR until it comes down. It's just challenging enough, but gives a tough work out.
5.10, white, corner by the pullup bars. Super balancy, but totally did it!
5.10b/c, green, in chimney corner. Stemmy, tricky, fun. Hard, but doable... I could stem all day!!!

If I can climb 5.11 before leaving Boston, I'll be SOHAPPY.
