    #Bouldering vlogIt's not always a success, even if my videos make it seem so Spent half of the session today on this incredibly cool boulder. I'm puzzled for now: should I somehow get out of the heel hook that is blocking me from moving the body to the left? But how? The slopers are pretty bad, especially on this angle. Or just try harder?I'll hopefully figure it out next time. And now I have a pulled neck and holes in the skin from all the jumping and squeezing. #climbing #klettern

    'Rhapsody' is every bit as hard and runout as it was in 2006, however the many repetitions—and widely watched whipper videos—lowered the mystique of the route somewhat. Mat Wright proves its still got some bite. https://www.climbing.com/videos/huge-fall-off-one-worlds-hardest-trad-routes/

    Just back from sport #climbing at Horseshoe Quarry in the #peakdistrict. Weather was really good with just a couple of short rain showers yesterday. The rock in the quarry was in pretty good condition. I lead a route and did a multi pitch on a 32m route in the slab section. It has been pretty special climbing in warm sunshine in the UK.
