I completed my first V5 boulder problem last night at the rock gym. The nice thing about it was that I started it about 20 minutes or so before I finished, which leads me to believe that it was a rather easy V5 — or it simply played to my strengths. There are some easier rated problems out there I’ve spent a few weeks on (I climb about twice a week) so finding one that challenges my current level and that I can complete in a day is pretty exciting. I’ll spend the rest of this month working on some of the tougher V4 and V5′s, hoping that sometime early next month I can begin trying some V6′s. First I must get a little more finger strength. Those crimpy little buggers get to me after a while.
