Another cool post about my climbing I get to make today. Sunday, I climbed my first 5.12 at my gym. I stuck to a training plan for the last four months and I managed to improve a lot. I think there is a lot that I could be doing better, but 5.12 is a pretty big deal in terms of my climbing. I think my wildest ambition will be to one day climb 5.13, so this is huge in terms of me approaching a natural limit in climbing.
It was a lot of hard work, but I am really happy that it payed off and I am really excited to share it. I hope to continue climbing this grade until it seems a lot easier to me and I can make this grade a regular thing. But for now, I am going to take a well-deserved break from climbing to let my body catch up.
