Life is short...
Hmm... The Lost of 5 young lives... Deepest Condolences...

Sometimes things jus happen... Totally unpredictable...
Same goes for us climbers... Do take care.. Climb Safe and Treasure your life...

slack
So tired from studying metabolism.. So much information... so many reactions and so many enzymes... Damn....
Well at least when it comes to exams, i am more or less prepared for this module...
Had a great time at Climb Asia on Saturday... Although i did not climb much, i enjoyed this session quite abit. Did mostly vertical climbing... Yes.. VERTICAL CLIMBING for me nowadays... starting to enjoy lead climbing and the huge falls that comes with it... still trying to overcome the fear of falling and jus focusing on the climb itself.
THere is this nice route in CLimb asia labelled "Mudpie 7A". Quite challenging....
The route starts off with a couple of crimps and moving on to pockets and slopers... and then the crux involving clipping in while holding on to a gaston. jiasheng has an alternate sequence from mine. haHA.. feels that mine is safer cos i prefer clipping in before making a big move.
The feeling is jus superb when you actually feel yourself progressing on this route each time you try. I am around 4 moves away from completing the route... Hopefully will be able to send it next time i visit CA.... Provided the route is still available....

climbing.
My blog will be focusing alot on my climbing... so bear with it...
I need a review of my climbing performance...
Firstly i am in open now... i feel training is quite slack as training is being conducted by ourselves right now... not very used to it. Prefer the idea of following a structured training set by coach Jups... Hmm... But then nvm la... i have decided to set up a training programme and take training for mondays and wednesday... Think people like Bertrand and a few others have been neglected... I was quite blessed last time when i joined the team.. cos it was more organised.. Perhpas it is the lousy management from planet...
Mock competition was a realisation for me... I need to be about to last 4 open men routes. Currently i am unable to do so. so endurance training. here i come... not too bad la my performance during mock com.. Could be betta. Jensen is damn Strong... Piangz...
Climbaprix was a good experience man! enjoyed the routes, although could not start route 2. Think i did relatively well considering how much i have been slacking..! so well done edwin. However, there are a couple of things i noticed. Route reading problems have been struck me a couple of times this sem... Need to settle that... and also commitment of the route...
So much said, at the end of the day... climbing is about having fun... so relac planet.
i am starting to enjoy being in open cat..climbing with the pros and trying creative routes. nice.....

hmm.. jus realised that it is quite hard being the captain... but i am enjoying the challlenge... well at least most of the time la... i love dealing with people and i am still learning... certainly hope i am doing a fine job at the moment.. Sometimes i jus dun feel that way... i take it upon myself to lead the team and contribute to the team.. at the end of the day... I am the Captain. SO much for the team... i really want a united team that goes far... A new team high this year under my term??? i certainly hope so...
