so where the hell is the next ice cream booth?! 🐫 https://ift.tt/2LkORGd

Trying out ‘Flying Arete V7/f7A+‘ over at Higgar Tor the other week. Reminded me how much I needed to get back into training. Not a single move felt easy but  that also might just be the lack of grit climbing come to think of it. I think the real point I’m trying to make is that I need more climbing in my life.

Making room for sadness. New comic. Weekend spent in joy, with friends, climbing. 

Third day climbing with Tel in Spain! This time our destination was Xeresa, a north faced wall with sport multi-pitch routes perfect for the summer! In the morning it was raining a bit but then it stopped and we were able to do Esperando a Maria (6a+, 110m). After a lunch break we did the first pitch of Alta Tension, a very funny long 7a with lots of jugs all the way up. In his second go, Tel managed to send the route making his hardest climb of the trip so far!! Something like 24 in the AUS climbing scale! Congrats!! 💪💪🎉 .

We also learned two new phrases today: barn-door and flagging. It is said that you “barn-door” when holding on with the same side hand and foot causes you to swing off the wall. “Flagging,” is the correct way to balance, using the opposite foot and hand to hold on when your other hand reaches for the next hold. Climbing vocabulary!

By now we were about ten miles off route, and everything was going fine and we were having a pleasant time. I knew where there were some beers under a boulder in the stream about two days walk from here and took comfort in that knowledge.
