Hey Guys! The last 3 days has been fun from start to finish. Nat and I have been away on a short trip to the UK sport climbing mecca of Yorkshire. As much as we love hopping on planes and jet setting off to sun baked crags in central Europe, we still find ourselves coming back to the land of puddings, rippers and grumpy farmers. To be frank, you can't go that wrong when you've got a 30minute drive radius from three of the biggest and best limestone crags in the country (Kilnsey, Malham and Gordale). I have spent only a...

Hey Guys Just a quickie seeing as I blogged quite a bigg'un the other day :D Well, you know how I said I was off to try this variation on "El Mon de Sofia" (8b+/c) called "Project Moro" (8b+/c)... :P It was really funny actually. The weather had been rather bad during the night, very stormy and wet. Nat and I woke up to wet bags and shoes in the opening to our tent as the zip to our door has broken :( A little annoying, yet another reason to pass my driving test and buy a van! As the weather...

Hola from Siurana! With just one climbing day left we are trying to decide on the best plan of action for tomorrow.

Just now we are sat in the cafe waiting to order a Spanish omelette bocadillo (a Spanish omelette... Continue reading

Hey Guys!   I’m coming to a close on this years Spain trip. It’s all gone so fast, it seems like only yesterday that I was heading out with Andy in the plane and now it’s almost over L. I’ve had a really great time climbing in Siurana this year both in terms of personal climbing and with my friends those new and old.   This year’s trip has certainly been an educational one for me. Although I ticked the hardest grade I’ve ever climbed, I definitely got my butt spanked on a few other routes of different styles proving... Continue reading

I'm currently on my way to Spain via Fontainebleau with Paul and Scott Gowens and Iain the guitar! We have arrived at the Eurostar terminal and are waiting on a very delayed train over to France. I am also knackered after a few very hectic and hyperactive weeks and after an awesome send-off night out which left me having only 3 hours sleep before the start of the drive! Can't complain though, too much good stuff to look forward to :) Luckily it has been fantastic weather for the drive down so far, hopefully this will continue as we cross the... Continue reading
