I’ve been meaning to start a blog for a while now but with the lack of decent weather in the last month a lot of time has just been spent climbing indoors with little to report. Things are now looking up though and the crags are finally drying out!
Last week I was able to get a good session in on Staminaband, a font 8A (f8b+) traverse at Raven Tor. It’s been a project for a while now, not helped much by poor weather and being at university during term time. The last few sessions have been looking promising though with every attempt resulting in falling at the crux last move so hopefully it will go down soon!
In the last week i’ve also ticked some other problems at the tor when Staminaband was wet such as Saline Drip SS (7B), Kristian’s Problem (7B) and Rattle and Hump – Hard Way (7B) which can be seen below.
With my summer holiday not finishing till the end of September i’m hoping to get some decent problems done and maybe even get on a rope and try some peak sport climbing!
