In November a trip to Stanage paid out for Chris Barr, with dispatches of both Deliverance 7B+ and Zippy’s Trav. 7B. Sadly he’s now suffering from an ankle the size of a balloon. Get well soon mate.

Looking through my laptop at unsorted pictures i found a few sequences of people on Nemesis 8a+ at Cheedale Cornice.
Cold weather, grit and bouldering at Curbar a nice start to winter!

Now its getting into winter again its time to resume bouldering. So a quick trip to Parisellas Cave was in order. Below are a few shots from the day.
The First two are of Chris Barr on the uber-classic ‘Left Wall Traverse’
The photo below is of Bob Hickish trying a variant on ‘Cave Life’
Now the left hand end of Chee Dale Cornice is pretty much a waterfall it’s back to the ‘Tor, here a couple of shots of Chris Barr testing out the Gastons on Saline Drip.
Mark Tomlinson came up to the peak from the deepest depths of devon, while he was up he did a classic 8a down Cheedale ‘Roof Warrior’ some photos are below.
Recently I went on a short trip to the Churnet sandstone with alex, its an awesome little place, good quality rock tucked away in the woods.
Below are two photos of alex on the classic 6C ‘The Nose’
In July i went to Pembroke with Gav Symonds and Bob Hickish, they both successfully soloed an 8a DWS called ‘Jaw’ below are some of the photos.

Between actually climbing and revising for uni retakes i havent been able to put up any pictures for a while. These are from Gordale when Bob did Huecool – 8b and Alex did the hardest 6b+ in the world!

Gav Symonds made the 2nd solo ascent of Ken Palmers Christine an 8a DWS at Long Quarry Point recently.
Its taking me ages to edit all the pictures from the trips I've been on but I've picked a couple of Christine images to put up.
