Number of ascents is a terrible way of keeping track of climbing progress. Time spent would be better, but if I'm sitting around belaying for a slow partner I might spend more than half the time sitting with my hands in my lap.
The boulder I hit Wednesday, a new boulder (v1), some boulder attempts, and some crack climbing. My hand-jamming technique is coming along nicely, but foot-jamming is a bit trickier and potentially more painful.
3 top ropes plus, one climb down from a top rope, sent my first V1, and more bouldering. A great night. Oh, and learning how to hand/foot jam (with the cuts/scrapes to prove it).
An hour spent bouldering. No ascents, but I did make solid progress on a V1 I've been working. Being able to repeatedly get to one of the last holds feels good.
I met a bet with a friend that I can best his best attempt bouldering or top-roping in three months. Not gonna happen (he climes 5.10+), but it should motivate me. I'm hoping to be in the 5.10 range by that time, and/or v4 boulders.

Another mediocre day. I'm feeling very frustrated with a lack of progress due to not enough time spent top-roping.

Two top ropes (a new 5.9) and multiple boulder attempts. I hate when partners leave early.

4 sent top-ropes, 2 bouldering problems, and a number of bouldering attempts (plus a partial chimney).
