Personal climbing session after my coaching session.
I did my standard warm up:
Cardio circuits - 5-10 minutes
Mobility exercises using therabands and free weights - 10 - 15 minutes
Then my climbing:
VB- V0: 5 repeated problems just practicing technique
V1 - V2: 4 repeated problems just practicing technique
V3-V4: 3 repeated problems just practicing technique
V4 - V5: 2 problems repeated problems just practicing technique.
V5 - V6: Finally got the yellow arete problem. Had to work a different beta to make the third move, as I wasn't strong enough to move from the gaston without coming off the wall. In the end I had to do a semi dynamic move, but use a to hook catch on a starting hold on the arete to keep me in place. Looks a lot cooler than the intended beta. But made the problem manageable for me.
I quite like this approach when dealing with projects. i.e. repeating previously climbs problems, but with smoother movement and technique. I feel like it helps relax your body and reenforce good movement patterns so that when you tackle your project, you don't have to worry about energy expenditure or any failed attempts on lower graded problems (it happens).
