Was down at the climbing wall last night where there was a completely evil route that was graded at 5a+. Everyone that tried was struggling/failing/cheating to get up. Basically there were very few holds, and the only way you could get up was bridging between two walls, smearing, and (pretty much) swearing under your breath.
It was fun to fail on this, because it was just so different. I know I won't get up it (despite regularly nailing 6a's and even the odd 6b), but I totally want to keep giving this one a go.
I also discovered that going climbing after going to a knackering karate class, possibly isn't the wisest thing to do. Especially if you want to push yourself at the climbing.
