My weakness is definatly footwork. All my friends laugh because in the short amount of time since my girlfriend started climbing she has managed to develop far superior technique.

my weakness is definetly overhanging stuff.
Mentally, falling and having gear popping even though I feel my placements are pretty good. I guess taking a 30ft fall on Snake dike didn't help matters much :?

I'm with ya all the way hoofers. I use my arms a bit too much which can cause my arms (particualarly my forearms) to burn out while I'm still early in the game. When I do actually remember to keep my feet in mind and try to think of every possible way to maximize the amount of weight on my feet I do ok. This is both mental (because my brain tells my body to use more hands) and physical (cause I actually do it). I'm working on fixing this by really concentrating on my footwork as I boulder and by using my feet in any possable way to take more of my bodies weight.
"Straight arms, Kyle!! I SAID STRAIGHT ARMS, DA**IT!!"
Better shoes would help this too.
