BLUE MOUNTAINS! O how I have miss you in this past year.  Another 2 weeks during Christmas and New years was heaven.  Such a fantastic vibe and crew to climb with. Seriously did not want to leave! 

It was like a routine to wake up and eat breakfast, go have a coffee at a cafe then head off to the crag. I love morning coffee! :D Then cook up a huge meal after and just chilled out. 

So after 2 weeks of editing and getting some much needed help from Sarah! This is what I have produced.  

Enjoy and happy viewing!!!

Thanks Logan for making a little video of me on Trix Roughly in the Blue mountains.

This was my best send of the trip, really cool bloudery climb with non blue mountains beta. Can't wait to head back there :)

Enjoy!

Just came back from a 2 week stint in the Blue Mountains over Christmas and New years. It was a slow start to the trip, I had been working very hard since I got back from Kaly. I needed to relax and get used to sandstone again. Met so many people and hung out with friends near and far. Got to climb completely different climbs to the previous christmas and also had a send train going. 

Heres a link to Logan and my adventure on one of the most famous multipitches in the Blue Mountains, Australia. Hotel California is a 10 pitch, 355m climb, graded at 22. It takes an average party 6 hours to complete but we ran into some trouble. It took 3 hours longer than expected. Logan has done this climb before too! 

Enjoy!

Theres a reason I haven't been blogging! Mainly due to the fact that there is just way too much to do in Kaly! Overall, I spent 5 weeks climbing in Kalymnos, Greece. It has been an amazing experience from the climbing, the people local and from around the world, atmosphere, food, it just feels like a second home! 

Walked into the crag a different person to last week! All that pressure and seriousness was gone. I remembered why I climbed, for fun! I also thought about why I picked spoonman to be my first 28. Steep, knee bars, cool moves and powerful.. I was sold!!!

Hope you enjoy watching my send!! =D

WOW.. How many times have I tried this climb? Over 20 and I have lost count... hard to think 5 months ago I couldn't even get the crux and now I'm consistently falling off the last hold. There is so much progress but it's heart breaking at the same time. Climbing all that way and then falling off the end. 

Even though I have never felt as strong as I do at this point of time, there is a mental block. It's hard to keep motivated, when the last move is quite hard and it just psyches you out every time you reach it. You start asking questions like "Can I really climb a 28?" and "Can I do this move when I'm pumped?". I always have to talk myself into doing the move and rehearse my beta in my head. Another mistake I did was giving myself a timeline on sending the climb. Just because I'm going somewhere does not mean I need to finish off a climb! It will be there when I get back :)

After editing this video today, it has given be faith again that I can do this climb! Must get my psych on...

Enjoy =D

I am so proud that my "How to Use a Systemboard" Video has reached 1000 views!!!
I know in the scheme of things, I'm not a Youtube superstar but its still great to know that someone is learning something off my videos! 

Happy days!!!

So this video has been lingering around on my other channel for a few months now! I decided to make it a little better! Three men and a Ladder, a great core intensive technical climb :D 

People just want to watch it for the awesome beta  :P

So after long last, I have gotten my act together and got more footage for the Thailand video. Just a few snippets of the adventure we had! Makes me miss the place when I made this!!! Enjoyyyy!

PS. I don't miss the constant heat, dirtiness and the questioning if your feeling sick or not :P
