How Many V8+ Blocs in 90 Mins? A Simple Try-Hard Time Trial Session 

Louis and I like to tell each other a lot that we 'work well under pressure' when in reality we've both admitted once or twice that this really means we 'only work under pressure' and today we test that hypothesis. After the V8+ circuit in Bethwall Climbing Centre in East London got updated, Louis, fuelled by double espresso and Tenzing chaotically tries to tick off as many of these (quite hard) blocs in 90 mins. What ensues is a classically chaotic session filled with nuggets of insight into the way Louis approaches hard blocs like these, and Ink, as usual steals the show with his cameo appearances.
