No Pain No Gain

Last week I resolved to start getting out more after a winter of hibernating and tonight V and I went climbing. I haven't been for ages and for me it's such a mental sport. Sometimes I'm feeling it, sometimes I'm not. When I'm not, I spend most of my time sitting down, listening to the music, egging V on or watching the pros do impossible moves on the wall. I usually leave the place covered in chalk, looking like I've done more climbing than I actually have. Tonight I managed half a dozen climbs, which was half a dozen more than I thought I was going to manage when I first walked through the door. This is V trying his hand at a sneaky black.
