week four, session two

The onsight session.

Warmed up on a few easier routes then got on the harder stuff. Climbing as a three so loads of rest between lines. Fell off lots of F7b mostly onsight and then ground up. Was not trying to redpoint, still no interest in working routes like that. Highlights including spending time on the crimpy blue trying to work out the move.

Felt like the limiter was my application of technique rather than strength per se. For example, i made the mistake turning in on the red rather than keeping hips square and using the inside edge. Or not flagging thru on top of blue. Very pleased with progress on head game too, climbing hard stuff it's often there but increasingly ignoreable.

Focii for continuing improvement:
1. More falling, top clip every time, getting a bit lazy when tired
2. Route reading the 2nd half/top and applying good technique
3. Keep the momentum going, don't grind to a halt
