I'm told it has a lot to do with the area, as Canmore/Kananaskis/? versus Yosemite/Tahoe, High Sierras/Joshua Tree/Pinnicles.
My climbing routine goes something like:
Mostly 5.10b, 5.10c or 5.10d (or 5.10+ depending on your gyms ratings)... really depends on the wall and what time of route it is
Few 5.11's (usually project, I should really push myself to do them clean since I know I can do them clean in competitions)
did 40% bouldering today... V2 
... and since I started reading this thread, I have one of those protein supplements after I finish to try and build muscle haha
But on lead, I'm 3 steps lower, so 5.9 or 5.10a... I'm sort of chicken pooh on lead.
which gym do you go to? |
Awesome about the bouldering. I just got some
new shoes today to replace my thrashed pair and did a few V2-3 routes to break them in.
I'm at the university a lot so most of my climbing is at the bouldering wall there (where the routes are set by monsters) or the big wall. If it's nice out I also do some buildering on campus. If I feel like branching out I head to stronghold or the calgary climbing centre. After my defense, I'm going to be spending a lot more time in Canmore though.
