Monday Climbing Session

I wanted to have some time off, but having rested Friday, I am itching for some work! The ritual of unlocking and preparing the garage gym in winter is becoming quite a source of inspiration...Much needed on a cold night.

I made two passes through 1a - 1c, although I finished with an additional set of pistols. I made three laps of 2a-2b. Then there was a Kill Carry and to finish, a fingerboard session.

With the Cirques, emphasis is on the 'lock-off' and the gradual lowering with one arm. Take care as 'brutal' is the name of the game.
