In 2013 I had one very brief session on King of Limbs and in conclusion I was a country mile off the strength required for this boulder.
In 2014 it was one of four boulders I wanted to climb on my trip. I had three sessions before hurting my shoulder and it felt doable but looking back I am not sure I was strong enough. I probably only did the crux move once in each session and linking the first three moves; realistically I wasn't even close.
To put in context how difficult King of Limbs is for me I think it is worth mentioning that in these two trips I ticked 24 problems of 8A and harder including seven 8B's.
In 2015, after months of training, this is how it went!
