So long

Apologies been really busy/lazy of late and to be honest I have had to force myself to blog tonight.



Things I've done,

Got married.

Went on honeymoon and only got 2 climbing days out of 10 in a very snowy Font.

Skied in Austria wich was great and I progressed on to the black runs.

Stayed in the alleged most romantic hotel in Salzburg.

Ran from Dun laoghaire to Howth after work. Now they call me forest, it took 2hours 18 min the last kilometer taking over 6 min's.

Went climbing outside 4 times in a week with clever use of evenings and days off.

Met Micheal O'D and went to the meet. climbed in a new area of Glendalough really enjoyed the white stick problem and will go back for dark arts. Electric mountain was good to I liked the rock there even if I was too tired to pull on much.



Problems I'd like to complete before the crappy summer weather kicks in,

The egg ss

Pascals

Andy's aret ss

The problem on the rasher boulder Glenmac (7b)

Possibly the fin, although Im not really overly psyched by this.



6ish weeks of cool weather to make it happen. also looking forward to the Arran islands cant wait to trial the new tent.



Ill try and be more regular from now on.

  1. Good man for posting again Timo.

    That problem is Blind Stick not White Stick I may have misinformed you as I have been making the same mistake. The other problem is Black Art.

    2 days is more than most climb on their honeymoon.

    How far is DL to Howth?

    That problem on the Rasher - the on the nice rounded edges on the steep side isn't 7b, 6c++ MAX.

    I'm also excited about your tent.

  3. Dave according to my sat thingmy on the phone it was 23. something k. blind stick makes more sense and black art i think i messed up. If only there were somekind of data base/guide i could have botherd my arse to check in.
    on the rasher is that the one that starts on the big hold then goes up to the sharp crimp then over the lip?

    Tim off booked and every thing for Arran.

    Neal very posative at the moment unable to climb outside then today lovely gutted.

  4. Go for 2.4 Pascal buddy. Although it feels harder, every move is doable and it's not as conditions dependant as the Fin or Andy's.

    Impressed about the run, I knew you could run but that must be at least 10km. This plus the climbing, you must be in bits! Won't happen when you'll be a Da'.
