Wales

I got back from wales last night, it was, pretty awesome...



Day 1 - Tried various things in Parisella's Cave and then chilled out on the beach, (slept in the cave)
Day 2 - Tried Rockatrocity, but then my hands
started to hurt so I had a big rest, except I started doing some crazy traverses which meant I got mega pumped a few times, we then started to try it again, and I fell on the last move! twice!, I was just getting so pumped, this was pretty frustrating, but I will definatly do it next time I go there. (slept in the cave)


Day 3- A full rest day, chilled out on this amazing beach, then we went to Conwy and stuff, (slept in the Car)
Day 4 - We headed to the LLanberis Pass, where the mountains are amazing! This was a good day, we mainly climbed at the Jerry's boulder. I climbed a problem which I thought was 'Johnny's Problem', but it turns out that I missed a handhold out, not sure what the grade is without the hole thing but it was still tricky to flash. I then did Bus Stop Font7c, this was my first 7c and is an awesome problem.

Then I went home...I am now very psyched for everything, escpecially the Grit season!
Keep the psyche people!
