The Last Wee While

I’ve not blogged for a while as there hasn’t been much to report. Team Strong + 1 made a trip to Kyloe in the woods where I completely failed to climb Jocks and Geordies 6c/V5. Everyone else got it and I was pretty gutted. Pete has burst through his plateau by virtue of a combination of crash dieting (he looks like a smack head) and lots of training. He is very close to completing Mestizio Traverse 7b/V8 at Dumbarton. Last night, Chris cruised it and fell off the last move of the Mugsy Traverse. I’ve not climbed anything good and new for a while. Work has been getting me down a bit but that shouldn’t be an excuse. Heading out this weekend to somewhere new and I’m getting three days at Val de Mello and one in Font for my summer holiday with Jeeka. What a top slice! Hoping for a trip to Font in October, with or without the Hebsonic Boom. Still not tied a rope on yet this summer and to be fair, I’m pretty devastated about it. Would be psyched to get some HVS/E1 multipitch under my belt this year. Anyway, here are a couple of recent pictures and I’ll hopefully have more to report after this weekend!
