Climbing evening. [ND]


That was interesting although not long trainig - I started with usual warming traverses and after an hour Grange arrived and three friend amateurs - I spent quite some time teaching basics of the climbing to them, and eventually they got insurance lesson from instructor and started to climb by themselfs.
I completed one new trce on-sight couple of times - it was not that complex trace, they built it using holds of previous 'mini-cooper' trace over small holds. I liked 'mini-cooper' more, maybe because it was more complex.
Then I climbed old quite complex trace over blue holds in central sector (6c+), but failed - I still not in the best form. Closing trace was 6b+ on-sight - that was a mistake - I completed only half of it witout fail, I need to change the way I start trases - do not know why, but I always start complex and on-sight traces mostly at the end of the trainig when there is almost no power in the muscles.

At home I played my trumpet.
Wellll, not exactly 'played', but instead tried to get somehow not too ugly sounds out of it. I practiced about an hour, but still was not able to make it sound even remotely good. But I have an excuse - I 'played' quite silently, and trumpet IMHO is such an instrument, which works (at least for total newbie) only with full sound.
It is quite good that I do not have neighbours right now...
