It took me some time to finally climb my projects, but till now, I finally got them all! What blows my mind again and again, is the process and the journey with each of the amazing lines and (being 40 years old), what you can do when you really want something, when you are passionate, persistent and patient enough and when you are willing to to sacrifice some things - not chocolate though!

Checkmate 7b+ (benchmark) by Hoseok Lee

For those who like to test their limits...

Try Quart Poulet 7c+ by 40 Degrees.

A quintessential gritstone experience; subtle and finicky requiring a cold, dry day but no sun and some pretty hardy skin. Really satisfying to stand on top of one of the best gritstone has to offer.

Looking back to the day of Dev Squad Selection, I felt confident that I had done well.

I don’t really know what we’ll find, if anything, but I’m keen to get stuck in to the data and see what pops out. I’m going to stick to the MoonBoard 2016 setup, as it currently holds more than 18,000 problems, (apologies to the contradicting title) a lot of data, a lot of analysing!
