Gaining momentum

Yesterday was a good day, Jerome and I sent the 7c+ we've been working on. It all went to plan and it's great to execute the plan as you were planning it the night before. I went onto working on the 8a I've my sights on called "Rebelion en la Granja", which felt quite desperate, but that's what it should feel like, otherwise it wouldn't be a step up. I couldn't really even put the draws up, so Jimbo step in to work the route with me, so thanks to him I can now work the moves. Jerome went onto flashing "Pince sans rire" 7b+ which I thought it was a terrific effort after putting all work in the morning sending the 7c+.

  1. Ramon you chaps are going to be crushing in Kaly...I am green with envy.

    I havent climbed in 4 weeks and I am in hospital next week which leaves me with 2 weeks to get strong... eek !!

    I guess my 8a dreams will have to wait until next year.
