Hello hello! Things are getting busy now with dance performances, teaching and school but climbing is still a place for me to destress and get my body moving. Unfortunately, this week I actually got an injury in PE class and pulled a muscle near my hip flexor. As much as I wanted to go for a climb, I wanted to let my body rest and properly heal as I had some dance performances coming up. So here are my friends climbing:

Photos as follows/ description of each climber:

Rio and Chelsea: Rio plays rugby so he has a strong set build. This can sometimes be a downfall for some people who try and climb and they rely on pure strength but don’t know how to use their body weight, balance or grip.Rio broke this stereotype and did a crazy good climb! Chelsea is very petit so she flys up the wall! heigh can both be a positive and a negative.

Emma: Emma started climbing around the same time as me! We both also enjoy going to the gym which is definitely connected to climbing technique and strength used.

Ava: Ava is my find who got me into climbing back in Marin. She has a really strong back and is quite strong with overhang climbs. Slab is also one of her go toe. I must’ve looked like I was a lot puppy following her around during my first visit!
