I guess I should start with a brief up-date, as my 'Sponsored Climber' page is pretty out of date now. Over the last year or so, I have climbed my first V14 first ascent. East Coker V14, is a problem I did around a year ago, in Parasellas Cave aka The Cave of Justice, North Wales.
I was obviously over the moon with this, and used the momentum to carry me up a handful of V13 ascents; mostly 1st ascents including Compact Culture V13, Daisy from Concrete V13, and a repeat of Dani Andrada's Cosmos 8b, in Albarracin, Valencia. This year, I have also climbed a strew of new and repeated many problems of V12/font 8a+, the latest being New Noise at Tan Y Grisiau, North Wales.
New Noise is V12, and a real back to basics, no messing power problem - very short and intense. In the words of the Original G, Mr Jon Gaskins 'A real boulder problem'! Cool. Anyhow, enjoy the pics, and I will post a report of my Swiss trip over the next couple of days - watch this space...'
