Climbing evening.


It was interesting training - besides usual traverses and boulderings I created new type of exercises. Consider the case when you got big hold, where two arms can be placed and there is some place for feet - yes, while you are in hinged state, you get your feet over the head to arms (another leg can be setup for friction stop), put the feet onto the hold and try to move your body so that you sat on the hold - some kind of lifting your body using arms and leg on hold from the initial place (somewhere over the head) to the place when you sit on the hold. It is not that complex exercises when you use two holds - one for arms and different one for leg, but when there is only obe hold it becomes very interesting - I spent quite big part of the training trying to complete it using different holds - big reliefs were done quite easily, but usual big holds required quite a lot of efforts. That was great time.

Something like that (photo from bouldering championship in Skala-city, man on photo is not me), but with only one hold about 20 santimeters width (like big blue hold rotated to 90 degrees). Final position is when you sit on the hold, where right hand is.

First sounds flew out of my new trumpet.


And I would not call them beautiful. Actually couple of times I produced really nice sound, but I can not easily reproduce it, so most of the time (I started about 23-30 and practiced about an hour) it was horrible wheeze and creak, but I alsmost start to figure out how to play notes...
I think it will take looong time to produce something interesting, but I do not hurry.
