Things I’ve been up to climbing, cwa award, trad climbing, resetting
the climbing wall, going to RRT7,climbing in the beacon, and waiting for good weather
CWA award (climbing wall award) is a 2 day training course
to become and a 1 day assessment to become a climbing instructor. So I’ve done
my 2 days training and am filing in my log book and have booked myself on an
assessment on the 9th of November! So going to do loads of indoor
climbing over half term to get my log book up scratch.
my CWA log book
TRAD climbing …. Well I try and get out as much as possible
but its hard when it rains but the last 2 days were good as we got one full day
of trad climbing in and 1 hour last night so I’m happy J on Sunday we climbed a few multi-pitch
trad routes all easy stuff to get back in to the grove! It started out raining
but about halfway up the second pitch it cleared up and the sun and blue sky
came out. yesterday me and Jason went climbing with cloud cover and light
fading got 2 easy routes in but cant wait for more !!!
Resetting the climbing wall hmmm well it took me 8 hours over two evenings to reset the whole thing. Striped it all down and put up lodes of new routes ranging from about V0 to V7/8 . Check out below the video of some of the new routes.
RRT7 !!!!! (Real Rock Tour 7) this was amazing very inspirational
as all these films got my psych going again to train and get stronger and better
but rely want to start offwidth climbing!
THE DURA DURA Chris Sharma has been the "king" of sport climbing for 15 years, and has created a mecca for hard routes near his home in Catalunya, Spain. Now, the Czech wunderkind, 19 year old Adam Ondra, has come to Sharma's home turf to take the torch. Sharma and Ondra battle to establish the world's first 5.15c, while Sasha DiGiulian and Daila Ojeda shred women's standards with strong ascents of their own.

THE
SHARK'S FIN
Legendary alpinist Conrad Anker nurtured a 20 year obsession with
The Shark's Fin, a spectacular unclimbed granite buttress on the 6,310 meter
Mt. Meru, in India. In 2008 Anker, with Jimmy Chin and Renan Ozturk, endured a
grueling 18 day push to get within hundreds of feet of the summit, only to be
turned back. Three years later, the trio makes tough decision to return,
despite Anker's deep family ties, and Ozturk's ski accident just six months
before the trip, which resulted in a fractured skull, a broken neck, and
serious doubts about going back.
WIDE BOYS American offwidth climbing has spawned a counter-culture of rough and tumble characters who aren't afraid to bleed their way up a route. So when two proper British lads, Tom Randall and Pete Whittaker, crossed the pond to eat up the gnarliest wide cracks in the West -- including the first ascent of the world's hardest offwidth known as Century Crack -- it came as quite a shock.

HONNOLD 3.0 Alex Honnold has become known as the boldest soloist of his generation. In this dangerous game, how does he balance pure ambition with self-preservation? From highball boulder first ascents to 5.13 free solos, from far-flung trad climbing adventures, to speed records on The Nose, Honnold wrestles with this question in preparation for his biggest adventure yet - the Yosemite Triple. In under 19 hours he climbs Mt. Watkins, El Cap, and Half Dome, 95% of it free solo.
Climbing at the new beacon. Right this is epic as it is brand new climbing wall and really modern. The is a 7 meters overhanging lead wall that Is 17 meters in height and is really pumpy in the forearms. The bouldering is good loads of great setting but could uses some more routes in the bouldering sector, the café makes makle some of the best cheese and ham toasties I eat 1 nearly every time I go there. So all in all a good place to go climbing and get fit!
Weather

sun and blue skies or the deep snow I don’t like this in-between rain then 1 hour

To
conclude it all the past 3 weeks have been very eventful and I cant wait to get
out climbing more. Lets hope for good weather forecast for the next few weeks JJJJJJ
