Ubuntu

In between the rain showers I went up to the camel to get back on my project Ubunto 8A. I managed to link the whole main crux section today, and was feeling pretty strong on it, but some of the lower holds were still damp and slippy so could not link the whole route.

Project

Last night I headed up to the camel with Guy Robertson. I have always wanted to attempt a 8a outdoors, and last night Guy was on one of the 8A's at the camel. I went on it afterwards and guy was giving me some of the beta. I managed to do every individual move but could not link it all together, so my project for the summer is to link the whole route together.

The Camel

As I have a new rope, Gri-Gri 2 and shoes I thought it would be a good idea to head out sport climbing, plus the weather was great.

New Shoes


Recently I was given a pair of La Sportiva boots from Martin Bergerud from Lyon Equipment, and received my boots a few days ago. I choose to get a pair of La sportiva Solutions, which I really like, they have got to be my favorite pair of shoes I have owned.
