I decided to kickstart my power levels with a good boulder day with the Villawood crew. We headed to the Wing cave at Sutherland and I got the guided tour from Scotty and Sean. After a slow start I managed to climb various problems ranging from V5 through to V10. this was a bit of a confidence booster considering I have not bouldered outdoors in 4 months.
I got psyched and decided it was time to head back to Attack Mode(32) at PC, as I mentioned previously I had done the moves and was feeling confident I could send or at least get good linkage on this unreal little piece of sandstone. To my suprise I got shutdown again and again and again! I could not even do moves I had worked out and done two weeks earlier...WTF! dunno perhaps I was tired or something, shut down!
In the meantime Carlie and Sean both ticked their first 30 Cheesemonster! Awesome!
Pete and I both spent a bit of time at South Central, Pete had a feel of Scum(Classic Nowra 25 often considered desperate!). I tried Physical Graffiti(31), awesome piece of Power indurance came very close but no Cigar on that day anyway :-(. I'll be back!
The weather was unreal In the mountains, so I decided to hit up Diamond Falls again! Even though I swore I would not return after a string of bad weather gave me the shits. Pretty Inspiring on a nice day! Monique sent Tuckered out (30) first aussie mum to climb grade 30, This was really cool to watch. A sandstone crusher by the name of Lawry Dermody was trying Fantastic Mr Fox(33) and coming very close too. Pete tried Hairline(28) and later on in the week I sent Lightyears(31/8b) in the Ampitheatre, not to mention it was bloody freezing, kinda difficult when you can't feel your fingeys. I think that covers the majority of the month anyway....
