European Comp

I did my first EYC last weekend it was great fun and I came 13th. I was wearing the Evolv Sharmans and they were great for competeing in I felt totally confident that my feet weren't going to pop of.

Right-Hand Man

Yesterday I did Right-Hand Man which is an 8a at Cheddar Gorge on the Remnant. It has a really steep burly start then a really crimpy wall. I thought it was really hard but when I did it I didn't think it was that hard

France Easter

My trip to Provence in France this easter was amazing we went to Opierre, Saint Leger, Baume Rosse, Combe Obscure, Malaceune, Saint Julien. The climbign was amazing. I got two more 8a's done. The First was Slip Bouse which I found my hardest climb to date the other was Sault qui peut which I thought was very soft. I also onsighted FFM Meuh 7c+ which I really didn't expect to happen. Now in three weeks time I've got The Ratho Euro so I'm going to get training hard.

Spain

Off to spain today aiming to do an 8a and a couple of 7c's. It's going to be awsome

Porlock

Went bouldering at Porlock Exmoor today. The bouldering is at the end of the pebble ridge and there are three main bits a slab with easy to medium problems it is really good for making up elimantes, a roof with 2 problems going out of it (V3,V5) and a couple of lip traverses. but the main bit is the steep wall which doesn't get the tide and is very dry in the rain. There are lots of good up problems and a few traverse. I did a V6 starting at the bottom of a prow and climbing up via slopers and pinches. It is one of the safest bets on Exmoor in terms of weather and there are never any over boulderers there.

Pyramid Pullups

Had an awsome sesson today did pyramids from 1 to 10 then back down to 1 and inbetween each set did the number of pullups times 10 moves on a 5 degree board. Takes ages but gets you so tired. I barely could pull after it.
