Climbing update.
First V3 of the new problems. Looking back on this, it looks pretty straight forward but the initial holds and high leg were a tricky start.

When I started the last Terminator box, I foolishly lost a leg of one of them.
So decide to turn the remainder of the box into a veteran sergeant and all the weapons options.
Here's Term number 3, equipped with a Cyclone Missile Launcher.

Our gym has done a reset on the boulder wall so a whole new set of V3 to V4 problems to tackle.
Sceptical on how much progress I'll make over the next 6 months considering this was a V1/V2.
The problems this time round are going to be a challenge.

Another Terminator completed. Made the error of losing a piece from the box set 'a leg' lol. So the remaining miniatures will be built to be each heavy weapon option. Here's option one. Assault cannon.

Not been playing overwatch as much but when I do, I normally main tank and support because it's the least mechanically demanding for an old man. Sharing this here for retrospect.
Recently been having a lot of fun choosing violence though over keeping players alive 😁

So, I absolutely hate having to do technical documentation and thought I was spending some solid time making a Lucid Chart for a pretty complicated workflow.
Lucid Charts reminds me after a good few hours or work that I'm out of shapes and need to take out a sub.
Eventful start to the week lol.

Rarely ever get to included any vids or updates around JuJitsu, so here's some simple back and forth between myself and great consistent training partner and friend from a short time back.

Popped round to the home of a mate's brother, who is also a huge 40k nerd specifically Space Wolves.
This has made my day, week and maybe even the month!

I used to own loads of Terminators as a teenager. Coming back to painting them recently and I put a lot of effort into this one. Please with how it turned out from a painting progress standpoint but seeing so much more that could be improved on!

More climbing progress.
Steadily getting to the last two holds on this V4 but making some mistakes on foot placement.
Someone in the gym had remarked about people who rarely post their failures.
I think this was easily over my 10th attempt as this problem lol.

Got my first V4 on video.
Glad I finally got this recorded after so many failed attempts.
The hardest part of this problem was painting footing and balance while not scraping any of the existing holds on the wall.

Completed all the V3's at our local boulder wall and managed one V4 (no video evidence yet lol)
Been wanting to place some vids of Jujitsu but it's much harder to capture the progress there than here with wall climbing.
Can't wait for the hands to heal and get back at it 🧗🔥

After 4 days of BJJ, a few rough attempts at some V4's and then some tough 6b+ top rope climbs.
Only managed to save enough energy for this V3

Day 2 into our summer camp.
Our coach has invited several guest instructors to come pass on some of their expertise.
A common theme has been control from top position controlling the elbow placement and the shoulder line.

V3 number 2.
Trying to learn to heel hook more for stability and bringing my hips closer to the wall for better reach.
Similar to how I've done with miniature painting, Bluesky is now that place I document the journey with hobbies.
Thanks to anyone seeing his and welcome along for it. 💪🔥

Hitting some of the new V3's.
A goal before the end of the summer is to be comfortably hitting V4.

Been going through a rough time ATM with work not going as planned, family issues reappearing and some minor but costly injuries.
The silver linings.
I'm now in the best position to address them. Be it understanding how to form the right habits, having the best support and being safe financially
