Scottish Final

Today was the Scottish final and went really well. I came second by one slap of a hold!!!. All the rest of the results can be found on the Scottish Youth Climbing blog:

Trad Leading

Last night we went to kingissue crag and did some routes, as I am totaly psyced for trad leading Scott suggested that I should try aid climbing to gain more leading practice which I really enjoyed.

Then this afternoon we went to 70ft wall and did some more leading. I lead Swastika 15m Severe and had some more practice setting up belays.

Aztec Tower

After camping in Gairloch last night we met up with Ellen and her dad then headed off to Aztec Tower and had another fantastic day out.
Aztec tower is one of the best places I have been to, very good routes to lead and bomber placements.
