Motivation up again!

So those few evenings of wandering about and playing on pieces of rock I hadn't been on for a while really paid off!  Yesterday I found myself feeling more motivated again, and brought my sense of playfulness back to some problems I had been trying for a while.  I realised I had been trying them in exactly the same way each time (which hadnt been working).   A fair few people were around so I watched closely to see how they tried the problems, and then had a go at doing it in their style - "imitating" them if you will!

Result! One move higher on a front face problem, and much nearer grasping the jug on the dreaded horizontal overhang!  Both problems now feel within my grasp and I reckon with some more sit ups over the next couple of months I may get them!  I am also off on a jaunt up north for a couple of weeks, and really looking forward to exploring new places and new rock types. 

So today's top tip; try climbing "in the style of...." - this can be anyone you see climbing at a similar or slightly harder standard than you - great for making you use your body differently and try moves or options you wouldn't normally try!   And apologies to those people I imitated the other evening!!
