Thriller

Well I had been top roping it for a while and figured out the protection, this even involved measuring a crack with a caliper (10mm if your interested), so now it was time to lead it.

It all went smoothly and my new bit of gear I bought fitted perfectly. I've named the route "Thriller" because it was a thriller and because of the day itself.

As for the grade I'm not sure but comparing it to other routes I've been on I'd say E3/E4 6a. But second accents will confirm this.

80s Climbing Social

It was the Guernsey Mountaineering Club's very first fancy dress climbing session and what better theme than 80s climbing.  If you want proof that wearing leggings lets you climb harder check out

New Problem

Managed to link two problems together today at the Pec Boulder. Taking the start of the sit start problem it dives off left after the first big move to finish up the arete.

This is the first accent as far as I'm aware and I also managed to beat Chris to it. A bit of competition definitely helps to raise standards!

Port Soif Project Accent

I couldn't stop thinking how close I was so headed straight back to Port Soif the next day. It didn't take long and I made it up followed shortly after by Chris.

Port Soif Project

Each time I go bouldering at Port Soif I always try an impossible looking sit start. Each time I also get no closer. However today was to be different. I always attacked the problem head on but Steve G suggested a slight deviation. Before long I was desperately hanging of the final holds only to fall off. I new it would go but just run out of time.

Standby

A while ago I revisted the Pec boulder for some gently bouldering. But the great thing about the Pec boulder is that there is so much potential. I'd saw some lines which may have gone and also some sit starts to existing problems. After a couple of sessions working them still wasn't anywhere near.

Today was different and after a while I had work out the sequence. It took me a few attempts but managed it.

As far as I know this was a first accent and I'm going to name it "Standby" as I was on standby for my work...
