BMC Leading Ladder 2008

For the last two weeks I have been attending the Leading Ladder at Extreme-dream climbing wall in Aviemore. There was 10 routes ranging from 5+ to 8A.
I managed to flash 7 of the problems, I made a stupid mistake on the 7A on my first attempt but managed to nail it on my second attempt.
The only two problems I never managed to complete were on the roof, a 7C and an 8A.
I managed to get half way across the roof on the 7C but there was very little for feet, I got three clips further on the 8A but kept falling off at crimp!!.
Alan says the problems will be left up for a while so I will keep working the roof ones till I nail them!!

Fort William Bouldering wall

This evening Myself, Dad and Nikki went to Fort William bouldering wall. I really like the bouldering wall because there are some really good problems. I was trying a purple boulder problem and I found a really good knee jam rest to rest on.

Some other pics:

You can also plug in your own i-pod and boulder to your own music... how cool is that!!

Lochnagar

Today myself and Dad went up Lochnagar hill walking. The weather was cold and very windy on the top.

I want to go back and climb in the Corrie!
