Went sport lead climbing with Tom and Jim. Unfortunately today was my day for falling, I'm greatful for my climbing partners belaying skills. I fell quite a ways on Rock-A-Holics 5.8 and decided not to try it again as I was a little shook up. I then had a short fall on Jenna's Face 5.8, on this one however I got back on the wall and completed the climb. Also climbed Sunburst 5.7-, Cinq Jour D'Afille 5.7, Goofed on Skunkweed 5.8-, Living Postmortems 5.8-. I believe my problem is my feet, I have to pay more attention to my feet placement as I have noticed as I climb above my anchor my focus has been more on the next clip and my hands, kinda tunnel vision. The good thing is the falling was done in good form, feet into the wall...Ha ! Ha! Ha! I plan on practicing more sport lead in the gym and concentrate on feet placement, form and balance. Hopefully it will carry over to outdoor sport lead.
