Climbing the “All Wood” Route

Filed under: General, Climbing

Well I surprised myself at the gym today. I finished the “All Wood” route on the overhanging part of the climbing wall. Basically, it entails climbing about 30 feet high using only the thin wood pieces for your hand and footholds. It’s like doing a campus board in a way — very “pumpy”, a bit of back and arm strength dependent, and hard on the fingers. I’ve tried this route once before and didn’t finish it without cheating. I started out this time and realized I was going faster than before. Before I knew it I was 3/4s of the way up… and I decided that I was not going to stop. I made it to the top and smiled. I guess I’m getting stronger :)
