Balkans Day Trip




We braved the heat once again and headed down to Sydney for some bouldering. This time it was myself, Aidan and Andrew. I am suprised at how keen the local Newcastle boys are. Without doubt most weekends they are keen to get out and about. It was a successful day for everyone. Aidan and I both did "The Pincer Movement" V5, I have never been on this thing, it is such a classic, one that you could do everytime you were down there. I also did the low start to "Boogie Knights" which Ive herd comes in at V9. I also did the low start to "Sloper Dan Milosevic" again I herd this comes in at V9 but thought it was a bit easier so ???? 8????. To finish off the day I also did "7th Day Ascentist" coming in at V9 (soft maybe) too. I feel whislt it was a bit of a battle for me cause it was so hot hanging onto slopers, in cold conditions I think it would be fine. Here are some pics from today.
Big thanks to the Newcastle boys and Chris for spotting, also a big thanks to Aidan for these shots he has taken.

Blacker Magic

Here is some footage of me doing Blacker Magic V9. It was very hot and conditions were not very good at all. This is such a cool cave, im so keen to come back and do more here. Im angry to see junkies have left their used syringes in the back of a cave, on the right hand side if you are looking at the cliff. Its bad enough they are shooting up there, but the least they could do is take their disease sticks with them.

Been Busy

Well, I guess you noticed, I did not have any success with Pooferator. Its still unfinished business (for the moment). Its been super busy with uni work as the end of the year is comming up, also been busy organising Wedding things. However, I have started to get out a little and look forward to getting out even more from now on. I did "Rocket Man" V9 a few weeks ago. I did not expect this as I was not training at all because of uni. It was a last min trip in hot conditions, but I am super keen to go back and send the link, the V10/11 L'homme Obu.
Im off to Crumbly tomorrow to try to send "Blacker Magic" V9.
