A V2 boulder in la Media Tierra |
Motivation amongst my regular climbing companions (Gaby, Ceci and even Martín) seems to have fizzled out recently (during the sixth and seventh month post-op) so when I could get outdoors to climb, I mostly went bouldering by myself. Actually, I really enjoy some aspects of solitary bouldering, although I'm somewhat less able to push myself if I get nervous about falling.

A V1 boulder problem in the sector of El Huevo |
A V2 traverse in la Media Tierra |
Nearing the end of a long, pumpy V1 traverse |
All in all I've sent about 70 different boulder problems since my resurfacing (all problems that I've done before but in some cases haven't been able to repeat in years). A big highlight was that I recently sent three problems which I had worked on several times last year without success. These are all boulders which I haven't been able to do for maybe five or six years (or longer). Here's a sequence of shots from one of these problems (the grade is maybe hard V3 or easy V4):
