Progress Over Memorial Day Weekend

Happy Memorial Day everybody! I have been climbing the last three days and climbed for a total of ten hours this weekend!

On Saturday I got to try out my new shoes that arrived on Friday.On Saturday I discovered that the evolv designers were climbing geniuses. These shoes are amazing. I was doing some slab while bouldering and I was able to smear with both of my feet so I could reach the next hold – amazing. I climbed really well and felt strong, I even managed to flash an 11a.

On Sunday I didn’t do  anything stellar, but had lots of fun and found a new project ( a 10d that I was so close to doing but could not reach the last two holds :(  ). Today I managed to clean a Boulder Problem that I’ve been working on for a month –  super happy about that. It was a V2 and it took a bit (okay a lot), of trial and error.

Checkout the video of me Bouldering a V1 and a V2!
