Rope Climb Completed
Since my last post on this list item, I bought a rope via eBay from the very quick and friendly Sydney Rope Supplies and climbed it. The rope is 16 metres long, so that it would be able to go over a … Continue reading
Body at 4-and-a-half months
Since my last post, I’ve been rockclimbing lots and occasionally going to the gym. On average, I’ve probably done just over one good workout per week. My gym program involved supersets, which means I have to somehow get access to two sets … Continue reading
Overhang Rockclimb Completed
After writing my last post on this list item, I was so keen to finish it by the deadline that we went tonight after dinner. The centre wasn’t very busy and I attempted the green overhang first. On my first attempt, I let go … Continue reading
Rockclimbing Deadline Set
I’ve been to indoor rockclimbing twice since my last post, once at each centre. The first of the two trips was to Villawood, two or three weeks ago. I climbed to the top of a 25-to-35-degree overhang bouldering wall, the … Continue reading
Three Month Measurement

In my last post, I mentioned a knotted rope at an indoor rockclimbing centre. Yesterday, I triumphed over that 15-metre-high knotted rope. I climbed to the top, using the same technique mentioned in my last post. Hurrah for biceps and … Continue reading
Rockclimbing Alternative
Due to very bad weather forecasts (snow overnight, 30kmh+ winds), we cancelled the hike I mentioned in my last post. Instead, we went indoor rockclimbing at a place I’ve never been before, where the walls are twice as high as … Continue reading
Rope Climbing
The Goal Climb a rope. I haven’t yet decided on the height, or whether it’s cheating to have (widely-spaced) knots in the rope. Doing it without using my legs would be rather awesome, but I’m not sure I’ll get as … Continue reading
Climb an Overhang Wall
The Goal At an indoor rockclimbing centre, climb to the top of a wall that has an overhang section. The overhang section probably needs to be at least 2m to count, so my back is (almost) parallel to the ground … Continue reading
