bolt clipping and slack lining

not much to update apart from more climbing, and a rest day today after only 2 days of climbing, but finger tips have lost a lot of skin and muscles are hurting! we are planning to put a slack line up in the park, then go and get a chinese massage (im a bit scared of what it will be like!). the heat and humidity is still incessant, but i think i am beginning to get used to it a bit. i have done a few more leads on 5s but im hoping to get leading more, even if im falling off the routes, as im finding it so frustrating not leading or having the confidence too. we found some crimpy routes yesterday (rather than thuggy overhanging routes) and i worked my way up a 6c which wasnt too bad, but still feels a long way off until i could climb it in one- especially when all the routes here are 25m +!
Jills birthday was a couple of days ago and we went back to the Karst cafe for pizza and cake!
we also went to the river in between climbing, where traditional hot rock style- the hot rockers got into trouble! the others (i wasnt swimming becasue of my tattoo) found an abandoned bamboo raft and pushed it down the river over a small waterfall- apparently this was not allowed and the security guard told them off and told us all to stay where we were. so we made a quick exit and hid in a cafe incase he had called the police! luckily nothing more happened! so we went to the next crag!!
there are still plenty of crags to explore, and most of them only go into the shade in the afternoon, so we may start going climbing just in the afternoon for most days, im not sure yet. and there is great debate whether climbing 2 days on, 1 day off or 3 days on, or 4+ days on is best! im aiming at 3 days on, 1 day off mainly becasue i dont like staying in the city all day which is what you end up doing on rest days!
