joflasherSo climbing two nights in a row makes for a very sore jo.
But I almost, almost, ALMOST got up my first 5.8 last night. I got my hands on the final holds but I couldn't get my left leg up before my fingers gave out. Feh! Need more stamina. And stronger fingers. Still, I'm happy. I've only been climbing for 3 weeks and I'm making pretty significant progress. I can get up most of the 5.7's easily now. I was hard pressed to get up 5.5's when I started. Of course, I tried a 5.6 right before we left and got utterly defeated. Its difficult to climb when you have no strength left anywhere, to the point where you have to have someone else untie you from the rope.
