So that was a good couple of days... Got my Foundation Coach done (thanks to Garland Mountaineering and some very patient students who hung around for me to make it to Exeter), then got to spend a chill evening with a friend (Mark), followed by a comfy sofa to sleep on and (better still) a trip to #Dewerstone today to send this rather fabulous VS, Leviathan, in a stunning setting.#climbing #TradClimbing #Trad #DevonClimbing

Vuelo del Águila
Superb day to be in the high mountains, climbing day with guest Jordan experiencing the Vuelo del Águila rock climbing route up onto Veleta 3394m.#climbing #mountaineering #spain

Near the start of the mighty, 4km-long Bernia Ridge, Costa Blanca.
Near the start of the mighty, 4km-long Bernia Ridge, Costa Blanca. A fantastic day out, particularly when combined with a bivvy in the Forat (cave/tunnel) under the ridge the night before.#mountains #climbing #scrambling #SomeRiskInvolved

Rocher de la Reine
Turns out running 130miles over a weekend really zaps you. I had enough energy for about 3 decent goes on this. #fontainebleau #bouldering #rocherDeLaReine

Another view from Wolf Crag #Northumberland on Wednesday afternoon.
Another view from Wolf Crag #Northumberland on Wednesday afternoon. The descent route at this end of the crag is down an enclosed gully that's capped by this boulder. We racked-up and left the rest of our gear at the top; seemed easier! It's a small crag, and this lichenous rock is indicative, but there are some nice routes, albeit rather short ones. #Climbing #TradClimbing #Photography

We were lucky with the Sunday afternoon weather at Kyloe Crag.
We were lucky with the Sunday afternoon weather at Kyloe Crag. Four leads, including three on-sights, one of them a VS... which for me is good! Seconded a couple more, including a repeat of an E1, and still thought it was nuts!! #Climbing #TradClimbing #Northumberland
Zabi Kon
A cool feature on the ridge between Slovakia and Poland (UIAA 3)

A couple more from Peel Crag #Northumberland last night. A chilly but fun evening of #Climbing and trying out a second-hand camera... a Sony ZV-E10 with a 20mm Viltrox f2.8 prime. Happy with it so far, and I think it's going to better than using my GoPro as a camera. #Photography #TradClimbing

The weather stayed (somewhat!!) like this!

East Woodburn
Added a couple of routes to my East Woodburn repertoire last night including a Hard Severe up Green Slab Arete... a tricky start, but reasonable protection and becomes easier. #Northumberland #TradClimbing #Climbing #Photography

Got in some Tahoe granite this week with my mountain buddy (below). Very steep yet very moderate, amazing.
