climb every mountain…
It’s my goal this summer to get good at something… I’ve been in London now for about 8 months now and apart from my regular activities of eat, work and sleep (and also the occasional visit to the gym!), I haven’t done any “extra-curricular” activites. After enjoying a bit of climbing (see pics below) over the last few years at Uni (thanks Matt!), I’ve decided I’m going to start doing this regularly! When visiting Alex this weekend, we decided to go to the Leeds Wall and after trying on about 50 different sizes she got me some new La Sportiva Kanatas as an early Birthday present. They seem pretty comfortable as climbing shoes go and managed to get a good session with Matt. I did a bit of bouldering and then went up on the rope. There was one route where I felt like Tom Cruise in Mission Impossible II… I wedged myself between two walls to get up. It was wicked! However, my forearms and fingers are absolutely battered. I can’t even pinch anything!
