My venture into sport climbing has led me to understand the surreal capacity of my fingers to dynamically bear weight and exert force… if trained in a hyperspecialized manner. Few humans have ever done any of this prior to the past fifty years.

Is there a term for “things the human physiology can do that were not a process of evolutionary pressure”?

First day of #SportClimbing in #spain at Bellus. Lots of easy 3s and 4s to get my head in.

So that's what 7c feels like. Crikey! #SportClimbing #climbing #indoorClimbing

Finally managed the 7b at #theFoundry. Actually did it twice but knocked my glasses off halfway up meaning I stood on an incorrect foothold near the end. The right one was right next to it so probably didn't matter difficulty wise but I had to go back to do it cleanly.

Back here again. This time I'm going to clip in near the top and try practising the move! #rockClimbing #SportClimbing #indoorClimbing #selfie

Working the last section of a 7b at The Foundry today. I've got my feet on the gold circled holds. I need to get my left hand on the blue but that means I'm too stretched out. Plan is to use the pink to pull on so I can lift my left foot to the green one.

Not going well so far! Hmm. #rockClimbing #SportClimbing
