THERE I wrote you a novel. I have no one else to squee to!
YAY PEOPLE WRITING NOVEL-LENGTH POSTS ABOUT CLIMBING FOR ME! But you should also post this to disobey_gravity -- there are people there who'd want to squee with you too!
And I'd love to see more squee-age in that comm; I think it's at that awkward stage where it's not quite busy enough to encourage people to jump in.
lots more holds that seemed like SRSLY WUT are now options
I love that so much. Especially when I realize my fingers have undergone one of their periodic upgrades.
our V1s are all at an angle - is that usual?
Not really -- difficulty shouldn't just be about "smaller holds and steeper walls".
At the wall I climb at, I've seen up to V5 on the slab alone. Though they'll also set stuff on the steepest overhangs and call it V0, because they're bastards like that *g*.
I think I like it enough (I need my brainy thinky muscley fix) to sneak in at odd off-hours until I feel comfortable with other people around.
That worked for me as a strategy!
mostly because I don't have anyone to show me technique
I can rec some books/DVDs if that'd be of any interest.
