At home on The Range
After a frustrating summer for climbing, a few recent trips to Gogarth with perfect Autumn weather have been a timely reminder how amazing climbing in Britain can be. Yesterday John and I visited The Range (Gogarth's little gentler cousin) - what a top venue! We did four routes all good and two of them really characterful. Here are a few pics

Climbing year that was
So like a lot of climbers I started off the year with a long ludicrously ambitious tick list, and now looking back, also I suspect like most, I've ticked almost none of it. In many ways it's been a good year though, as I've visited some really top drawer spots.
