Sent the Red V8

The problem was quite easy, not sure if it was graded correctly. Felt like a V6+. Maybe the jump start made it a V8?

Happy today that I finished a V8.

Projects on old walls are not that smart.

Finally built enough confidence to try this orange V7 on the beast. Danny got to the last part and knew he could finish it later so we left. Well guess what. They took it down when we went back. Very disappointed. Working on this V8 now on the next wall to be taken down about to finish it too. If  they take this down I will be very sad because this will be the first V8 that we will complete.

Hello!

Hey,

We are 2 friends who recently fell in love with the sport. We decided to make a blog to share our progression. Brooklyn boulders is our gym of choice because it's close and the people there are extremely friendly. You also get to climb the brooklyn bridge, where else will you be able to do that? :)

We both started at the same time and progressing at the same speed. Towards the end of August/ beginning of September is when we started climbing. At first, we struggled to complete V2s. Weak finger strength, poor technique and bad endurance made climbing tiring and painful, but we still loved it. 4 and a half months later,we are able to send V6s and starting to break into V7s. We learned quite a lot over the months by watching and talking to other climbers around the gym.
Our goal is to send V10s in one year. The goal seems a little far fetched, but we think its definitely possible.
