new years

Happy new year everyone

well what can i say the last year has been the best year ever which makes 2012 one in which im going to really need to try hard to have as good a time, hope all you guys had just as good a year and that your new years resoloutins will be followed through.

Here we went for the final clinb of the season and again attempts on my project trying to end the perfect year with a send of the perfect route, but allas it wasnt to be i am broken and battered far to tired to send it i did reach my previous high point twice but with nothing left for the final powerful move to easyer ground, it is strange i have never had to try so hard and give everything for such a long time on a route, i normaly cant do it or dont send because of hesitation, being intimidated by moves not having a good sequence or lack of effort, this one i am giving everything i have and after 2 goes in a day i am waisted and im only doing 13ish moves!!! i can feel today that i am starting to feel a bit ill so will be taking a few rest days then when fresh i will be jumping back on it and crushing, theres a few photos below cheers to Lucy for the camera skills,

New years night was a chilled afair with all being totaly knackered from the days climbing, fearing we wouldnt make it to midnight we chatted drank champagne and then revitalised with coffee :). midnight came to the sounds of spandu ballet. then David muttered the thoughtfull words of lets have a night climb to see the new year in, so fuelled with a few beers we headed to the closest crag to climb our first climb of the year at 12.15 am!! head torches donned were off climbing in our own little bubble or light, after warming up on a 6a+ i decided to try something a little harder and managed to squeeze out a night onsight of a 6c+ with a few mutters of david watch me here i cant see my feet, and him saying i cant see you how far abovethe bolt are you:). thankfully on this climb i didnt have a beer can in my chalk bag as chalk was most deffinatly needed.

see you all soon
