Find me on the rocks. Or napping in the sun. Always stoked. Scared, but doing it anyway.

Stormy seas. Rising tide. Threatening rain. Pretty skies.
Sorel Point for our last club night of the year, & I managed to get a lead in!
Haven't climbed all month. Hopefully we'll have a few more good days before it gets colder and wetter. ⛅️

The weather has been too rubbish for climbing recently, so I'm just dreaming back to great days falling off rocks in my favourite forest 🍁

I also had to use a horrible knee-bar on that first move to keep the tension while reaching up, and completely scratched my knee to bits. 😅

Sunday sea swim, some DWS (if you can call it that. More like shallow water traversing...), and a bit of bouldering (falling) after the tide went down.

Great bouldering session this afternoon!
Really pleased with this little problem - I'd tried this years ago, after my accident, and barely had the confidence to get off the ground, let alone the powerful move and the topout. Huge win today! 🫶

2. DOLPHINS! The photo is terrible, so it's kinda like: "bro, trust me"
3. Dom setting off on Cut Across Shorty, HVS 5a
4. View of Plemont Bay from the crag

Really stoked with my little impulsive onsight-first-ascent route today!
Haven't decided on what to name it yet (it's a finger crack / sea cliff / loads of bird crap at the top / spontaneous send, any thoughts?)
VS 4c. Super chuffed!

Crag history - Guns Cliff!
Following Jersey's liberation from German occupation in 1945, artillery was collected by Islanders, and thrown over this cliff at Grosnez, as part of an island-wide "cleanup"

Managed to stay in the shade, (32°C yesterday! 🥵) and unexpectedly had a massive mindset shift on trusting trad gear!
Hands down my best climbing day since before my accident. So pleased!
