Font was a bit of a right of.... we got one and half days of climbing in a week of torrential snow. Phil did 2 of the big 4 in day though, a sterling effort.
What we lacked in climbing we made up for in drinking with 90 bottles of beer, 2 bottles of wine, a bottle of gin and a bottle of rum consumed in the week between the two of us. BeerLAD.
I have been back on "it" for a about a week now and feel so much better for it... mostly training but yesterday i had a cracking outing to thorn crag, somewhere i have never been. Due to car issues i ended up going on my own... i saw no one all day, just me and the rocks! (blah blah, meaningful shit). It wasn't in the best nick, being shrouded in cloud, lots of snow and damp rock but i salvaged a good day. Defiantly keen to head back to tick some cool things on dry rock!
The exciting news is that byron and i are heading round europe for 3 month boulder/route fest, very psyched, leaving at the beginning of april so i should be back to some sort of form by then to :)
I also have a 3 week holiday to canada with the fam and an additional two week stay over =SQUAMISH!!!! Im in the process of D.I.Ying a travel fingerboard for the three weeks in tourist mode. Sad?
DIY!
A trip to the rocklands is also on the cards, octoberish time.
All in all pretty exciting.
Bob and byron have earned themselves some nice little ticks, byron did the thug mental traverse at pantymwyn (7c+) and bob smashed rock attrocity for his first (7c)... although training has rendered his elbows useless leaving ARC training his only climbing related activity. Dom (currently in font) has been in good form to, ticking his way through a lot of grit classics.
