Monday, 29 April 2013. Team GB do Kitzbühel (thanks to Victoria for taking the photo and giving artistic direction). I topped the qualification boulders. I am really pleased that I have had the opportunity to prove that I am physically capable being competitive. This is something I thought I was capable of, but physically proving it is better. I only wish I’d managed to do it during the competition, instead of messing up! Picture courtesy of Eddie Fowke ( www.EddieFowkePhotography.com. That said, I ne...

Thursday, 13 June 2013. Toronto, Canada and Vail, Colorado. Team GB are in a strong 6th position with only one World Cup 2013 round to go. Those that attend all the rounds will drop their worst result for the final ranking. So this year the best 7 results count, as there are 8 events. Current individual World Cup standings are exciting reading:. I've taken a lot of solace from others this trip. The support and belief shared between friends and fellow competitors buoyed me up when I was feeling low...

Thursday, 1 August 2013. It’s quite hard training in the heat. My finger skin seems to like falling off and I’ve discovered that I have a tendency to feel a bit queasy during warm up when it’s hot. I’m getting used to it, which will help lots as it’s bound to be hot in Munich in a few weeks. Subscribe to: Posts (Atom). I am a climber. I love climbing.

Friday, 24 May 2013. Log-Dragomer and Innsbruck World Cups 2013. Two more competitions in two weekends. The World Cup rounds are coming thick and fast this season. Team GB are doing really well and are are currently in 6th. Go Team. The qualification in Innsbruck was different to usual. Due to the inclement weather causing some of the boulders to become a little damp, we competed on 4 instead of 5 problems. The difficulty of the problems was increased to ensure that the field was s...Our chariot awa...

Friday, 6 February 2015. After the 2014 World Cups, I got into the Peak Limestone. I discovered the delight of Rubicon first thing in the morning; the peaceful, cool next to the water before the heat of the day. The hook of moves at Blackwell Dale and other roadside caves; cool, dank holes next to roads! Here’s one I topped - Paint it Black (7c). Paint it Black - Sean's Roof. Then, suddenly, my projects were wet and it was time to start training for the 2015 season. Subscribe to: Posts (Atom).

La Coka Nostra 8A (sit down start). Had a great day at Tumpen today. The Ötztaler Ache flowing through the valley is full with melt water at the moment and as one boulders the deafening sound of the river behind is awesome! Subscribe to: Posts (Atom). La Coka Nostra 8A (sit down start).
