The 2015 bouldering season kicked off with the first competition, the European Championships, held in Austria’s climbing capital Innsbruck. Boy, don’t those guys know how to put on an event!

South West squad day
For the last I don’t know how many years I have worked very closely with young climbers aspiring to be the best. Whether that is to do well in the Regional rounds of the BMC YCS, or to get through to National Finals, or better still to stand on top of the podium at the […]
Spring has finally Sprung
Now that Spring is here and the weather is finally picking up, a few of us decided to take advantage of the sunshine and headed down South to Hartland Quay to see what it had to offer. As Hartland is a tidal venue you ideally want an afternoon low tide, a bit of wind and some […]
