April - November 2018


Another late update on the ol blog from April to November this year.  These few months have seen me climb my hardest ever trad and sport routes as well as multiple cragging days out and a short trip abroad to the Atlas mountains of Morocco.  Even managed the first 3 winter routes of the season in before it all disappeared! hope you all have a prosperous and safe winter season! cheers to all i've climbed with/guided!
