Sorry i haven't sent much in the way of blog and photo stuff recently. I've been very busy with work and fighting to keep my job! I got plenty of stuff done, I just haven't had the time to get photos, edit videos and write about it. I try and catch up a bit now.
Firstly here is some text and stuff from climbing at Kentmere a little while ago.
Whilst out and about getting away from it all in the lakeland mountain side. I had a productive couple of days at Kentmere. Whilst here I managed to to grab a few first ascents in the top 7's. These I reported to the lakesbloc website and you can read about all about them here: http://www.lakesbloc.com/news/ 345-new-trio-at-little-font. html
Not mentioned specifically in the news report, i managed to re-climb 'Reinvented Bright New Colour' after a hold breakage. This was originally graded 8a+ and I still stuck with the grade, as I suspect I was slightly further right than the original? This problem now adds a very hard dynamic move to a very tricky 7c+. So is definitely worth the grade either way. As is mentioned in the news report my friend Dawid made a nice little video of the two sessions and it can be seen here:
Below are also some photos all taken by Dawid Skoczylas
