What a glorious day yesterday!

A little late to the party but here's a great shot from my first outdoor bouldering of the year this week at Rhuthin Escarpment. Cracking day getting a nice ten problems done at a new venue, including fighting my way up this one: Cassius Clay 7a+

Landing runway? Not sure how much this says about my levels of optimism! Still, if you can pad it, do it! Bouldering often isn't about combating fear in the same way as trad, for me at least. The joy for me comes from completing the moves at the very peak of my ability and if I can eliminate any thoughts about where I'll be landing, all the better.

Did a V2 at my local wall, @beaconclimbing the other day. Thought I'd make it more interesting. Typically, you spin in the middle and climb downwards to finish but this actually felt slightly easier (as long as you're good with your feet). That semi bat hang was mint!

I think I've used this quote before: you don't just love your children, you fall in love with them. With every passing year, it becomes that little bit more true. And how you cannot fall madly in love with this amazing little girl is beyond me. She really is becoming the most incredible little thing.

I love this picture of @john_kettle_climbing from when I was in the Lakes at the start of the summer and we went to Sampson's Stones. It captures the thought process that goes in to hard bouldering wonderfully and was quickly followed by a couple of good sends.
