Climbed
My thumb was feeling all better, so I climbed without doing anything special with it. No problems so far.
Met up with a climbing partner via the white board right away, which was nice.
I started off climbing to the top of one of the sections which has an auto-belay which I hadn't manged to climb before, which was great. I've now gotten to the top of two of the three, although only one of the marked routes.
Did a couple moves on a 5.7 which were pretty interesting and challenging. Didn't make it to the top of that one though.
After climbing with that first partner for a while, I ran into![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
doze_e_fish for the first time there, and climbed with her for a while, which was great.
I made it to the top of another 5.7 which I was sure I wouldn't be able to make a couple moves of. It's getting really interesting to study routes after climbing them, trying to figure out what the right thing to do would've been where I ended up lunging to get through it. I'm pretty sure no lunging should be required on a 5.7. I'm starting to actually see possible moves when I look at the wall, instead of just chaos.
It's also getting interesting to try to see what holds could benefit a partner as they're going up the wall, that I might miss while I'm up there.
Making more use of more holds. Still definitely more progress to make on that.
When I went to use the weight room, it was full of little girls on yoga mats. Several times I checked. Which was pretty annoying. But I did get in there before closing, and that was nice.
Today I was informed my membership does not actually include equipment rental. The last three times I used their equiment, that's not what they said, including when I bought my membership, and was explicitely told it included equipment. That's what I originally expected, but I'm still bummed to suddenly have to pay $10 more each visit. So I'll probably cut down to once every ~four days, until their shoe demo day on November sixth, buy all the equipment that day, then go back to every ~two days.

If shoe demo day is a special opportunity to buy equipment at discount, I might take advantage of that as well...

I don't think there's an additional discount, just more shoes to try on or something? I don't know.
