Bouldering, but why
I had a colleague, Lukas joining me in Boulderbar Hannovergasse. We done loads of warming up and found Martin in the gym, who has had done a 6b for warm up and then did a 6b+ front of us for the first try (he was struggling with this particular one a week before).
I struggled with staying awake and do something. We came back from Hungary one night before, so I couldn't get much sleep.
I tried a 6c with very nice moves and tried so many times, failing on the same move. Martin was struggling almost all the way up, but flashed it front of me. I think that crushed my spirit a bit for the session. I quickly gave up for the day.
6c here I come again
Thursday, back in Kletterhalle with Christoph. My mind was set to do the 6c. We had the regular warm up on top rope, then found the orange 6a+ empty. We had no choice but to try it. I was first up and gave it an onsight. It is ~17 metres long, but it is overhang all the way, changing directions on the arete of the wall. I was really pumped, I could barely undo my knot.
After that I had a try on the 6c again, failing on the same move again. Had some goes falling on the rope several times and I still don't understand how I could do that move once.
The move: From a very positive big undercut move left to a sloper staying low. Match hands and quickly move left leg to the furthest foothold, then grab a half globe pinch and clip. The next hold to the right is a very positive sidepull. And here I am not sure that I have to match that after putting a high right foot (very high one), or just pulling with the right and go to the next hold with left. The next one is an alright one, but it needs body tension to keep it. I have seen people doing almost statically, having no high right foot at all, but I can not reach the next one like that.
Very pumped arms, but overall a good session. Bit disappointed to not achieve my goal for the session, but Mr. 6c I'll be back again (If the route setters leave it there).
