Rock Climbing and Pregnancy Take 2

Today was a more mellow day because I was still sore from climbing 2 days ago. One must listen to their body even more so now. We wandered to the crag and I let my fiance climb a bunch before trying anything. My subject; a 5.9 finger crack called Dinkum. I'm so glad the crux wasn't the start of the climb today. Got through the easier hand crack to a nice rest then wrestled the finger crack. While I didn't get it clean, I still got up it eventually thanks to the top rope. I lowered back to the good stance to have another (and what I hoped to be a clean) go. But, I was worked. This whole pregnancy thing feels like a workout already and pushing myself overboard is not the answer. Learning to say enough and try again another day.

More of a fun rock scramble but good to get out and run around on the rocks at 30 weeks pregnant.  7/17/2020 Oak Tree Flake to Bay Tree Crack, Swan Slab  37 weeks pregnant and all I want to do is climb! So we made our way to the valley for a day of swimming and fishing before climbing. Thu...
