Becoming a Crystallographer

This is the blog of a future crystallographer, not that crystallography is the main area of discussion. I'll maybe mention it once in a while, while writing about my life and other things.

More climbing

Went climbing yesterday. It went quite well. I got up two walls I had not got up the last time and then a few more new ones. It was great. I got home and made myself a smoothie, read a book till I thought I could get some sleep and then before midnight just decided to give it a try. Since during the week we go climbing at around seven and come back after ten it is quite hard to get to sleep afterwards. Like I can't get any sleep right after exercising. Well but I eventually did fall asleep but ended up dreaming about climbing the whole night. And well you might be able to imagine that dreaming about pushing and pulling oneself up a wall using all the strength one has is not very relaxing. Oh but I haven't been that tired today yet and I've gotten quite much done.

I really want to get better at this climbing thing. That may be all I have to write about. Like now I've noticed that I have to get my leg muscles better since I can't apparently push myself up with just one leg and that is exactly what I have to do to get up past this hard point on this one wall (the one that was my favorite till they changed it). And I have to do it with my left leg too which is harder. And it's also like kind of sideways. But at least loads of other people I see trying out the wall don't even get to the point that I got up to so that's something. I didn't try it yesterday since I had loads of other projects going on and sort of tired my hands in the third wall which was like negative, as in leaning downwards, and sort of crooked. Well I got up that one but boy were my hands tired ofter that. Sort of like I'd been squezing one of those stress balls for like 3 hours, though I've never done that soo I might be wrong. But I recovered after that and got up other walls that were hard but I felt it was not required to try the really hard one since I just didn't have all my strength. I'll have to try it out next time right after warming up with some easy climbs.

It's nice to nitice that I have gotten better at the climbing even in the short time I've been doing it. It just makes it more fun.
