Logging My Climbs and Blogging My Thoughts

Intro

To be honest, I have not really reflected on previous climbs or logged my ascents very accurately. I suppose there is the crag and the mountain project, but I have not really been logging ascents as diligently recently.

The reason I wanted to start logging my thoughts was because I realized after trying bonfire rodeo a handful of times now, the climb oddly feels different each time I try it. I doubt that I will go back and read these, but I think it might be interesting to see climbs feel over time and perhaps I can quantify an small progression that I make.

I am also realizing that I have been climbing long enough to not really remember what I have already tried. This is especially true for sport routes, as I am simply not as familiar with most sport routes. Specifically looking back at the sport routes that I have worked on, there is only really one climb that I remember, Jug City, which is a 5.9.

With that being said, hopefully having a climbing diary will help me to remember what the holds feel like and how hard certain moves are. I think it will also be interesting to see how I progress.  Currently, I am probably the strongest I have ever been, despite weighing the most I have in a long time.

Hopefully I can find the discipline and motivation to properly diet and train.  Anyways, the motivation behind this section of the blog is to track my experience climbing, whether it be achieving goals, making progress on climbs, or finding the motivation train.

Maybe I will find the motivation to work on Black Eagle again.
