Hey Guys So I've only got a few days of climbing left before I return to the UK. I can't say I'm not looking forward to coming home - I'll be seeing all my family and friends again as well as checking out the awesome new TCA wall in Glasgow : P. Climbing the last week has been pretty hilarious. I've been spending my time mostly at a sector called Kalydna. Here there is a heavier concentration of high f8 routes compared with other sectors and since I've exhausted most of the other areas, it makes sense to come here. The... Continue reading

Hey guys! I am currently sitting in the empty Kos airport, in the dark, with Olly sleeping to my left and a snoring greek guy behind me. I am finally at the end of my trip, I won't be seeing the sweet shores of Kalymnos until next October when I am coaching as part of the masterclass coaching holidays, check it out here! During my last week, all I was aiming to do was get as much climbing done as possible! With only a week, starting any big projects was out of the question and there was still a few classic...

Hey Guys! Guess where I am? Still in Kalymnos! Yep, I have only 6 days left now and I can tell you, I think I am ready to come home now : ) Its been great fun out here, climbing everyday, on perfect rock, in the sun, all day long, but we all miss our homes and I'm ready to get back to Ratho : P My local crag! Being out on rock all the time improves your technique so much, you are always thinking of sequences, looking for your feet and your next hand holds. Olly showing that stalagmite... Continue reading

Hey guys!   Only 2 weeks left :'(  Still a good length of time to send some awesome routes though! The past week I have been taking it a bit easier than before... It is very important that when on long trips like this one, you must pace yourself and listen to your body, otherwise you will burn out! This has happened too often on many of my other trips, in fact, this is probably the first one that I've managed to sustain a decent level the entire way through the trip (touch wood)! So after completing a few projects, I'm... Continue reading

Hey guys!!! I am still here in sunny (less so now) Kalymnos! Life has been great these past few weeks, everyday climbing on beautiful, sun kissed limestone and typically living the  climbers dream. Since my last blog a lot has happened. My good pal Jonathan Field has come and gone as well as all the original crew from the trip. Jonny had an absolutely amazing trip, ticking of some of Kalymnos' most spectacular hard routes! This included getting his first ever 8a on-sight on the absolutely incredible roof warrior route, "Fun de Chichunne" in the Grande Grotte (check out this for info... Continue reading
