Will it or wont it EVER happen?

POOFERATOR, This Shipley climb has been without doubt the longest thing I have ever worked! I have done it like a million times with one fall, but somehow I can never seem to link it to the top. Hmmmmm, all things going well I am going to try to send this route on Sunday. If I do this thing it will be the best feeling, probably equal if not better to when I did Attack Mode 32 way back in 2004. Whilst I probably wont get photos this weekend, if I do it ill be sure to get some done.

Good Times




Well it’s been a while since I posted anything. Last weekend was Thommos 20th anniversary (T10). Organised by Rob and Carlie, many climbers dressed up in the most fashionable 80’s attire and hit the cliffs seeking a massive session on the rock. Many, if not all climbers got exactly that. The day was a great success, heaps of friendly faces many I had not seen in years.




I was in the top 10 category trying to send 10 semi hard routes, I did not succeed in that. I did manage to send a few harder ones and I came close to sending more but falling on victory jugs. I managed a repeat of Narcosis 30 and Lover Boy 30, however I fell on the last hold of Slip Slop Slap 29 and fell once on Baby Just Don’t Bite It 28. The rest of my routes completed were 25 of below, after trying the above routes I could not seem to manage anything harder.




The second day I woke up pretty wrecked.



Here are some photos from Aidan Smith, another Novacastrian crusher.




Thanks so very much to Rob and Carlie for organising this event, it must of took a lot of work.
