Climb 2010 - The Good, The Bad & The Ugly

The Good
- Completed Le Privilege Du Serpent and Vegabond D Occident. Epic.
- Awesome France trip. Great climbing, great people, great food, lots of sight seeing. Thats how it should be done!
- No major injury this year. Dave Macleod is right "When our bodies are tired and cant manage it, we get annoyed and do exactly the wrong thing - Try even harder". The key is to reduce intensity when you are performing below expectations and be patient if you are in the middle of a down cycle. This is especially apparent if you periodize.

The Bad
- No hard onsights this year. Onsight has always been my achilles heel, my kryptonite
- Didnt achieve my goal of a nice pyramid. Short of 1 7b+

The Ugly
- Maybe my poor performance during Rock On? i dunno, didnt bother me a lot. i was focusing my efforts on IPPT.

climbing again

Oh yes i am climbing again! Back from my short Sharma break! Seems like there is no time to lose as Alvin is heading up YS next Mar. i am definitely super keen to visit White Mountain again but then again i have other commitments to worry about.....

Trying really hard to regain my fitness now. Based on my current performance, this is going to take some time. Shucks
