There are 30 brand new problems V0-V7 that will help keep you occupied till the 21st of this month (December) when we reset the North Corridor and on the 28th when we reset the West Wall. If you haven't already though, there are a ton of cave problems that are hard and the east face of the North Boulder.
The past two weeks I have been climbing solely at Bridges after being sick for a week. I feel light and strong. It's a big confidence boost and sparked a new "training" program that benefits me. It goes something like this....
1) Don't get into other people's business unless they tell you about it
a) Unless you could care less
2) Climb, a lot
That's about it. It seems to be working for me and my head. I feel focused and motivated to try harder things. Some nights I'll go and project (okay, MOST nights I do that). Other nights I'll repeat all the problems of a certain set. The new set on the South Boulder is PRIME to do just that. Repeating things doesn't have to be boring. If you set a time limit on how quickly you'd like to do it, then it gets your ass moving. I didn't have a time limit and I had to rest longer because my left big toe is in a slight amount of pain, but I worked out that I did 30 problems in under two hours (with rest time). That's about a problem every four minutes or so. Seems slow. I bet I can go faster. We shall see.
But that is my new "training" program. I don't train or do anything special like normal people or how I used to when I was on a climbing team. Partly due to the fact we don't have a lot of weight equipment (i.e. pull up bars...those things). Guess I'm gonna improvise. But the campus board is ready to be put to use. So get your asses into Bridges Rock Gym in El Cerrito. You will NOT, be disappointed.
And if you are...TOUGH SHIT SON!
