Gym climbing

Climbed in the gym with Shawn last Sunday. We've got a 5.11 lead route that we've been working on. It's so rewarding to work on projects in the gym because the improvements are so easy to see. This route begins with about 15-20 feet of technical, balancy climbing, and then a dynamic move off of two, smallish crimpy handholds to a bucket. At this point the wall begins to overhang and the sequence to the next clip is challenging. Actually the next three clips are challenging, but I learned that I could indeed do them. Physically and mentally, I learned.
