its been a couple of weeks since I last wrote.
Life has been good here in England and lots has happened since I last wrote.
Alex and myself headed off to Fontainebleau for a week but only made it as far as Paris due to a road rage incident that ended badly. We had to head back to England to heal my broken foot enough said.
Now we are back in England I have been back to work although I have managed to squeeze my climbing shoes on which has been a huge effort in itself as my foot is really painful but I have managed to climb a couple of great climbs one is called Keen Roof 8B/V13. Keen roof is a great problem at a place called Raven tor. Its said that a visiting frenchman came to climb at raven tor and drove right past it as the cliff does not look like much from the car, but once you jump out the car and get on the rock you soon find out the climbing is great. So yeah I ended up climbing Keen roof with a buggerd foot, it felt great to climb something that was reasonably difficult on rock again.
After a couple of days of resting my foot and a small bit of training on small wooden edges screwed to a board I headed out to another wee limestone cliff called Impossible roof. I had never climbed there before and i'm certainly glad I have climbed there now as the problems are bloody great.
Straight away I got stuck into one problem on the cliff called Serenity. Serenity is graded 8B/V13 and has a reputation for being a stiff little number. After awhile of figuring out how to climb the boulder I managed to climb the boulder on my second attempt from the start, you little ripper!!!!.
I have been easing off the training for a few weeks now as i'm just about to start a new training program which is going to be bloody killer to handle but it should be great.
Oh and I have managed to get out on the Grit a little bit but the weather has just been a complete debacle every time I plan on getting out it chucks it down.
Micky Page and myself (in-between climbing on little wooden edges on a steep wall) have been working on a climb called Voyager, Micky did the stand the other day (which was tops) and is now set to go from the start. I came super close to the stand but no cigar just yet as the little basterd is a sharp one and rips the skin to bits.
So yeah my new training plan will begin next week and its gonna be great but really hard. Good times
Oh and I have also been doing a bit of filming with Outcrop film for the up and coming movie called Life On Hold.
