BLCC 2009

Last Saturday was the BLCCs, which was held at Ratho climbing wall Edinburgh. I was in the Junior category (U16), We had to climb two routes graded between 6c+ and about 7c.
My first route was about 7b (I think) I managed to get 3/4 of the way up until a really long stretchy move spat me off.

My second route was about 7c I managed to climb about 25 moves up and was trying to clip one of the quickdraws off a small slopper/ crimp then my right arm got flash pumped.

Over all I came 20th, I would have liked to finish in a better position.

Applecross bouldering

This weekend I managed to persuade my dad to take me to Applecross so I could do some bouldering, the weather was scorching hot about 25'C. I went to sand bay boulders and managed to get a little bit of bouldering done, despite the weather was really hot and there was lots of horse flies biting at my back and legs.


Me on MOD Traverse V4+

We were going to stop off at Torridon boulders on the way home, but it was getting late in the day and we had no food or water left, the nearest shop was 20miles away, so we headed home as the weather forecast for the following day was heavy RAIN !!

Gory Magazine

A few months ago my friend Lukasz Warzecha took some pictures of me climbing at Dumbarton rock, and this month some of his photos went in Gory climbing magazine, one of the best selling climbing magazine's in Europe.
