Been thinking about this for a while, and finally settled on doing it. I want to be lead climbing by the end of the summer.

Edit: Chris and I tried an exercise today at the gym: climb every route with a particular rating, without stopping. We started with 10 5.9s, and succeeded. Next time it’s either every 5.10a or every 5.9, twice.
