updates!

its been quite a while since i posted anything. Climbing in Rocklands is like riding a roller coaster...with its ups and downs. To cut things short, i kinda pushed myself too hard during the 1st 2 weeks of my trip and my body just broke down. Had to take lots of rest and on top of that i suffered a back injury which put me out for the next 2 weeks. Pumped myself with medication and got better gradually and now i'm finally starting to see some progress on some routes i've been working on recently.
Fell off the last move of Black Shadow 8a+/8b twice. Also i've not been back onto Armed Response 8b, which i fell off also on the last move early in the trip. Conditions are getting better (COLDER), and it'll be good to go back and finish these problems including Green Mamba 8a+/8b and Nutsa 8a+ which i also fell off from the last moves. Kinda sucky eh. More pics and videos when i get home! Here's a picture of me on Green Mamba...
