Welcome to my site.

This is a place where I showcase my adventures in climbing, mountaineering, hiking and running.

We managed a quick day trip to the Wye Valley over the weekend. Having been quite focused on sport recently, a nice cruisy multi pitch trad day out made for a nice change of pace.

Had a great day out in Cheddar on Friday and got a few good redpoint burns on my project. Got really close to sending on the last attempt of the day, but (annoyingly) dropped it two moves before the chains on the headwall.

It was a bit of a mixed forecast heading to Cheddar yesterday, but the gamble paid off nicely with the crag drying by midday. Managed to sort some good beta (thanks to the BMC rep) on an old project that now seems like it may go soon.

Had a great boulder session at Hang yesterday after our Swanage plans fell through. I really enjoy the style of problems there across all grades and in particular the comp holds for almost all problems. A very nice gym with lots on offer in a relatively small space. It was also great to see Leanne enjoying the gym on her first visit. Not quite ready for the Moon board, unfortunately!

Got to introduce @t_hell_ye to indoor climbing at City Rock in Johannesburg. We ended up staying for 5 hours until our forearms stopped working. Mainly bouldering with a top rope intro for Trevor and a bit of auto belay for me. A quality gym with some good problem / route settings.

Trail running at Cradle Moon Game Farm with @t_hell_ye . It was such an amazing experience running through the bushveld. We mixed segments of the red and yellow routes, which allowed us to roughly circumnavigate the farm in just over 20km.
