As it says in the title! 5 days until we set off for Switzerland, psyched!
Not been away climbing since October 2010 so looking forward to it! World class problems on incredible rock. What more could you ask for? Feeling pretty strong at the moment, having done a fair bit of training and plenty of days out on the rock.
One more day out on Tuesday with members of Team Merseyside (venue not yet confirmed) then a beastmaker/campus session on wednesday, followed by 4 days rest and crushing in the magical land hopefully on sunday.
I was also 18 today, happy birthday me! I guess its all downhill from here so im looking forward to that ;)
Ciao for now!

22nd March!
Ended up jibbing trowbarrow today and went to the cave of justice. The weather was amazing, perfect day to be stuck in the cave eh?
Met up with the geezers at the hangar, jay, dave and dazza the beast! After a quick warm-up i managed to get shutdown on pretty much everything i pulled onto which was slightly unfortunate. In the end i managed to climb Clever Cleaver from the Clever Beaver Low Start. Apparently 7C, but a soft one i guess! It definitely felt it with the awful sequence i was using!
After a couple of hours in the cave we headed to Pill Box. I was psyched once again to see the tiny edges the Gaskins destroyed on the fine afternoon in Llandudno with the Mrs back in the day! I had never climbed at Pill Box so was quite looking forward to it. With shit skin and fatigued arms I scraped my way up Pill Box Original and Last Orders. Both brilliant 7A`s. Got shutdown on two absolute sandbag 7B`s then headed back to scouseville in order to rest for a Trowbarrow/Woodwell combo tomorrow!
If anything gets climbed ill be amazed. 11 days until swizzy, psyched!

Blogtime!
Now then,
After months of heckling fellow rock scalers for using their spare time to write things on the internet about climbing i finally decided to jump on the band wagon!
This year, 2011 is the year which i have been climbing for 13 years! Seems like a lifetime, to celebrate i suppose im off to Switzerland for 2 weeks on the 2nd April. A combo of Cresciano, Chironico and maybe Brione are on the cards and i could not be more psyched! Hopefully there will be wifi somewhere close to us in Swizzy and this blog may come in handy on rest days and to report failure, possibly success but i doubt it.
Anyway, its late and im tired! Trowbarrow tuesday if its dry, undecided for wednesdays venue so far! Then party on at the weekend for my 18th Birthday. Nice!
