LET'S FUCKING GO!

The above image reflects my recent thoughts. 

It could seem a stupid idea to buy 50 new holds for a wall that I barely use, but it's not. At least not for me. 

Given the recent changes in my life, my two jobs and the lack of time to dedicate to training, everything needs to be closer to perfection than before. 

Before, I could decide easily what to do, how to train, for how long, at which intensity, because I had all the time in the world. Now, not anymore. I have bits of spare time here and there, half hours every x days, and therefore I need to extract the most out of that little time I have. 

That's why I made my board even better. Because it will help me: the fact that I have little time to train doesn't mean that I'm prepared to become shit. Or shitter, anyway. It's not fucking over. 

AMIATA SPORT CLIMBING

As promised, a few pics from my sport climbing experience, to give proof that I actually used my harness... Courtesy of Pietro Mittica. 

The "easy" first moves: the first bolt is easily at 3 meters, with a nice rock at the bottom of the route. Why that? Had to leave the first bolts preclipped and it was a pain to climb the first part of the route that way, but there was no way I was going to risk a dangerous fall.

Aiming at the target for the dyno. It's a long pull.

Undercling and long reach to good holds! 
 

Strenuous clip due to being terrified about doing the move and then easily clipping from a jug. Great pic.

At this point I was needing oxygen, having climbed at least 15 moves for a total of at least 8 meters. Bloody multipitch. 

What a great day! 

HOLD THE FRONT PAGE!

What do you get if you take an ageing ex-wannabe and a young ex-bodybuilder sport climbing? I don't know what you get, I can tell you they'll get a lot of fun! 

Big numbers baby. 

More to come!
