Thank you, Kit! Plantar flexion seems to be fine for me. And my arch definitely doesn't need to be higher (ha ha). I will keep up with the foot work though and keep moving the ankle both directions. I wrote down what you said about "the disease of western civilization" X|

Fri 28 Apr. Strength. A compressed KB session: KB haloes: 2 x 10r x 16kg Goblet squats (no curl): 2 x 5r 1H swings: 10r/side x 32, 32, 32kg (60 swings total) Get-ups: 1r/side x 32, 32, 32kg, plus an extra rep with 36kg on my weaker side (7 get-ups total) Sat 29 Apr. Bouldering. Bouldered outdoors in the Flinders Ranges. Did a moderate grade highball* boulder (around 10 metres, I think). Fortunately, the difficult moves extended only to about the 5m mark (which unfolded in a complete flow state, happily), after which the climbing was very easy and could be done with infinite care and precision. As always, an interesting engagement with the mind! *Highball bouldering is the climbing term for larger boulder objectives where the consequences of a fall get correspondingly more severe. I think of it as the space between regular bouldering and free soloing. Sun 30 Apr. Bouldering. Pulled on to an old (much smaller) project to see if the holds felt any bigger. They did! Nonetheless, I think I need to get quite a bit stronger before I can realistically hope to climb this particular line. My guess of the grade would be around V12, give or take a grade. Mon 1 May. Massage. Needed! Had a fair bit of tension down in the sacral area. Tue 2 May. Bouldering. Just a quick board session this afternoon. Stretching. Not much today. Just stretched out my finger flexors, did some squat movements, and had two long holds in a German hang on the rings, breathing deep into my chest.
