Apologies to the OP for continuing the thread drift, I get the impression for elsewhere that you may have found someone to go with though?
Wendy, question out of curiousity (and being bored at work)... how long have you spent trying those V5s (at a given time)? Because I didn't even consistently do V1 until I went bouldering for over a week with a bunch of guys who boulder V7-V9, and I started to understand the approach they used (Which I can do on boulders now but not yet climbs). |
