The route is set up underneath a trampoline: + Show Spoiler + ![[image loading]](http://i.imgur.com/ivG9W3m.jpg) Figure 4 is when you put your leg on your arm to reach futher with your other hand. It is obvious why it is called "figure 4" + Show Spoiler + ![[image loading]](http://i.imgur.com/VYFKson.jpg) Sportsmen use really crazy angles with their tools. The tool in the left hand is situated horizontally which is usually forbidden in regular mountaineering. + Show Spoiler + ![[image loading]](http://i.imgur.com/wpvMSRy.jpg) | ||

This week I went climbing with a friend and we got to see an avalanche go down about 300 meters next to us. There were some climbing walls between us and the avalanche so if we decided to climb there we could have been even closer but I don't think we would have been in any danger regardless. It was my first time climbing on real rock and it was a pretty awesome experience. Having to look for every hold, belaying in steep terrain, being exposed to the sun all day. The climbing we did was rather easy so we could focus on managing our gear. We did a two pitch route which was really fun and kind of eye-opening. If you want to do some serious multi-pitch climbing you have to be way better at managing your gear because otherwise it costs you so much time. | ||

for 2016, i'd like to develop my finger strength, put in time on the campus board, and be able to climb all v4s in my gym. would be nice to not be self conscious and take shots at v5 every now and then too for the xp. gl to all you tl climbers, and happy new year! sorry to use this as my blog, all my progress since i started is in here haha edit: since i'm blogging, might as well list my progress so far (levels determined by when i think i'm 'solidly' climbing that level - quite subjective) total bouldering time - ~2 years v0 to v1 - 2 months v1 to v2 - 3 months v2 to v3 - 4 months v3 to v4 - 14+ months v4 to v5 - current, since jan 2016 | ||

 I just started climbing in early-mid november. Most days my friend and I both go so we toprope, just started 5.9s, but over the holiday he wasn't around so I did some bouldering - sent all but the pinchiest of the v2s at my gym, and tried a v3 but I think it was a bit late in the session for it. I realize the progression up the rating system is going to slow down at this point but hopefully I can still get some good stuff done this year | ||

Let me present myself quickly: i'm a med student, moved into Grenoble (french city in the alps) 1.5 years ago for my studies and started climbing at the same time. Turns out I really enjoy it, and I live in on the best place in the world to do it  . I was a bit out of shape when i started and I guess i'm not really talented, so I only climb 6.b outside (5.10d), and I still have limited experience in multi-pitch routes but I plan on improving that this summer. I also had a great opportunity to start ice climbing with my university, in fact I ice climbed for the first time last tuesday, and went for my first multi-pitch ice on thursday, that was quite an experience :D. Lead climbing on ice is going to be tough mentaly but hopefully if the weather is cold enough I should be able to try it in a couple of weeks. A photo I took while leaving of the route, obviously it was not something extreme (looks steeper when you're in it though!) but the last pitch took its toll on my arms .. great experience overall and the guy teaching us is a local climbing legend, which makes the whole thing even more awesome. ![[image loading]](http://i.imgur.com/ZkmImze.jpg) All of that to say to IAmWithStupid that he is not the onnly iceclimbing enthusiast eventhough i'm a recent convert :D | ||

I climb mostly anything, obviously considering my location I have years of experience. If anyone is ever headed to Yosemite, let me know as I can be a partner/guide for those who've never been. | ||

Climbing isn't about speed, especially when you're starting out, moves should be slow and controlled. Obviously the better you get the faster you can move whilst maintaining control but if I ran a climbing centre I'd be worried I'd be seeing a lot more people hurt themselves if I installed that. | ||

The last 1.5 years have been a bit frustrating, with shoulder pain that just didn't want to go away, some smaller injuries, and a badly twisted knee that is still only so-so after four months. What helped a shitton to improve: Yoga. Way better balance and flexibility. | ||
