new to the game...

So this is my first post... a lot of people seem to be blogging so i thought I'd jump on the band wagon!

A Quick Run Down


The past few months have seen a few successes in the ole' bouldering. Breaking into the 7c's, doing a few of the parisella's classics and ticking off a few quality grit problems are all stand outs. A pretty successful November trip to font saw a lot of climbing done, especially by Phil (Rose) who ripped the place a new hole.

Me on Brad Pitt, Stanage and Phil on Eclipse, Fontainebleau

The combination of bad weather, university commitments and landing myself a job at the new Stoke V12 shop have meant I haven't been able to get out as much as I would like... I haven't even seen rock for 2 weeks! :( :( :(

A car is potentially on the cards with the pennies from the new job which will mean being able to get out with no reliance on lifts... a first for me!!

Me and Emily (the girlfriend) are off to font mid May which is giving the training a bit of an aim.... pretty psyched for this, getting out after exams and a car!

My V12 boss (Dave "Fat Dave Graham" Deary) is clipping bolts in El Chorro for a few weeks which means a pretty solid 2 week stint at work for me. The aim is some hardcore training before/after shifts, this is being partially thwarted by my occasional heavy food binges though! :S. Currently biking to and from work which mounts up to about 18 miles a day... all in all i should be fit by font and the summer!!!
