I'm so happy about finally doing the (quite easy) yellow difficulty (6A/6B). And even better, after doing it I managed to repeat it twice more after more than 2h of climbing. The final one got recorded, so I can finally share how terrible I move on the wall. Still - I am proud of myself for doing it.

I use bouldering to build core strength and flexibility, and to stay injury free. So I headed over to Onyx ofr some Z1/2/3/4 zig-zagging, before breaking it all over agin on the bike later.

Funky acrobatic bloc. Not very hard to do once you understand what needs to be done (I had to watch some actually smart people do it).
#TIL that these are called a #volume in #bouldering. In bouldering, there are #paths, which are well-designed #climbing routes, to practice specific skills used in bouldering. In a bouldering gym, a path is built with plastic elements called volumes. This volume is part of a path made for kids, and has the shape of an elephant in a #cartoon #style.
EXIT: Not a volume but a grip! (See reply to this for details - thanks @codebyjeff )

Great article on UKClimbing from a fellow #neurodivergent climber about how #bouldering affects their #adhd brain https://www.ukclimbing.com/articles/features/how_bouldering_affects_my_adhd_brain-16771
This really resonates with my experiences so far, and Jessica does an excellent job of articulating what the experience is like and some of the challenges (especially visualising routes! Co-morbid aphantasia makes this essentially impossible)
