Worked further on the Mammut Challange 6b+ and 6c routes ground up. Didn't get much further but have worked out how to do the the 6c. wink

Mum and Luke made me try the steep 6b+ on the Five Ten wall again - got further but not as far as on my first time.

Climbing at The Foundry

Yesterday I went climbing with Noah, Mum, Dad, Thomas and Sam Doyle

I worked hard on the Mammut challenge problems, having already flashed the 5 easiest ones. The start of the 6b+ had proved to be more challanging than other 6b+ leads I've done so this needed more work as did the 6c.

I first worked the 6c ground up getting to 1/2 on 2nd attempt but my 3rd took me no further.

I moved to the 6b+ and quickly got past the move I had got stuck on previously. I topped the tufa to find I ended up sliding off the sloper and after a another 2 attempts I got no further.
