I'm just starting out learning to climb :)
I'm a beginner having a go at bouldering, hoping to get signed off on the indoor walls at my climbing gym at the end of summer, and all being well I'm hoping to complete an outdoor trad climbing course in the autumn

Bouldering - June 2023
Today I had my first proper go at bouldering and I got to try out my new climbing shoes! I went a size up as my actual size felt like torture devices, but these were lovely and didn't hurt at all.
Bouldering is so much harder than it looks! I was only able to complete the very easiest routes (unlike Ash, who could smash many of the harder ones straight up) but man it's good fun. Not used to using all those different muscles, I was probably here only an hour before I got fatigued, and then managed to rip a few chunks of skin off my hands. So that was the end of that haha!
Next time I'll be better prepared, I'll tape my hands where my skin wore out. Hopefully they'll toughen up with time
