How much of your bouldering project is a physical bottleneck, and how much is a mental block?

Anxiety doesn't just make us hesitate; it actively restricts our ability to think creatively and see alternative "beta" on the wall. When we reframe that racing pulse as excitement and focus strictly on the puzzle, the performance shift is massive.

*crosses fingers, toes, eyes, and arms* please hold out, weather window!

Rockfax describes the conditions for the area we're visiting as:
"The boulders face all directions and are exposed to strong winds but they may be okay when the edges are too windy. They are very quick drying and seldom green. The slabby, rounded holds require cool conditions."

Will 19C be cool enough? Guess we'll find out!

Today was the 5th day in the row I have been climbing. Spent four days in Fontainebleau bouldering with friends and family. Today I had to drive my oldest to his bouldering training. At first I didn't feel like it but in the end still had a good session.

Please, please, please can the Peak District have some dry weather this weekend?

I'm really looking forward to getting my first taste of outdoor #bouldering next weekend, but if it's going to be wet we'll have to cancel.

It's been super unpredictable this last couple of weeks, and I'm not hoping for it to be sunny as well, but wet Gritstone is fragile Gritstone.
