The week that was...

This week has been very special and truly inspiring.
I went to Malham and was fortunate enough to climb alongside the worlds best sportclimber Adam Ondra and the UKs best sportclimber Steve McClure. What other pastimes can afford that calibre of company in their respective theatres? I'll never share a Beauchief green with Tiger Woods, that's for sure.
Everyone was friendly. Everyone was encouraging and everyone enjoyed their climbing. Faces I knew like Sam and Lu, new friends in Jules and Andy. Toby crushed GBH, I got The Oak, my first confirmed 8b.
Climbing really is a great sport - remember that we're incredibly lucky in what we do and go forth with a smile like mine.

My winter training is beginning to pay off:
