I am feeling extra sore today after a session at CATS and then the Spot yesterday. CATS was lonely and cold but good enough for training hard. I tried one of James' " mundane V10 " problems and realized I might never do it so went to work on the left Keen, easy V12 or so catsclimbing.com says . Things went much better there.
