Hello all,
The blog has been dead for almost one year. I must admit I had a lack of motivation to write, but I haven't stopped climbing.
Things have changed recently with the discovery of 8a.nu. It's not only a portal with the latest news, but also a big database to record and keep track of one's ascents. I liked the idea, so I created an account, and I added all the ascents I could gather. I have been registering everything during this year.
The portal calculates a score based on your 10 best ascents, depending on their grade and the style of climbing (on-sight, flash, redpoint, etc). This score is a very good indicator of progress, and it's quite engaging. It's interesting how we, as in human beings, feel the need to increase our performance indicators. Whether it's our bank account savings, our school grades, our favorite computer game, 8a.nu... the bigger the number, the better.
From now on the idea is to keep track of my ascents in 8a.nu, and to use the blog recording everything else, e.g. describing crags, narrating adventures, posting pictures etc.
