RAF Lossiemouth Climbing Wall

Today I was asked by Scott Muir if I would help out grading around 40 routes that have been put up on a new climbing wall that he built at the RAF base in Lossiemouth.

The wall is amazing made from plywood and moulded panels. It has been built with some great overhanging panels that are excellent for stamina training. The original wall built into the brick is still there and can be used for placing gear.

I was talking to the RAF base commander who officially opened the wall, he hoped that we would be back to climb on the wall again at some time and maybe they would be able to hold some sort of competitions there!!

EYS competitions

I recieved an e-mail this morning from Ian Dunn the junior British climbing team manager saying that both myself and Dylan have been selected to climb in the EYS competitions in Imst and Wein...... wooo h000

Sheffield Team Training

At the weekend I travelled down to Sheffield along with Nikki & Ellen Macaskill to attend a junior British team training event which was held at the Foundry wall in Sheffield, the day was suppost to be used as a training day for the team but was also going to be used as a selection day for who was going to be going to the EYS competitions in Imst and Wien (both in Austria).



We were told at the start of the day that we had 5 routes to complete before 5pm and that if we were wanting to go to any of the EYS comps we had to top at least 3 of the routes which all started at 7b.



Myself and Dylan were the only ones to top three of the routes, I got just over half way up the final two 7b+ routes so I will just have to wait till the team managers make a selection and let me know:)
