As usual, its been almost a month since I last looked in here! Well, you can rest assured I still think about this site a bit, and have even started extracting content from the old overcomplicated beast in order to reload it all.
I digress. Yesterday I rode my mountain bike 100km, along with around 200 other complete nutcases in the Tahune mountain bike marathon. I crashed twice, and considering there was a broken collarbone and a few stitches, I feel pretty lucky to have escaped with a few bruises, broken sunglasses and a wrist that feels OK but not quite right.
Lukcily, I’m off to Melbourne tomorrow for a week of R&R with Bel. No climbing, no riding, just lots of stretching, good food, relaxation. Ahhhh….
In other news? The organ pipes assault continued for some time, leading to the ticking off of a few more classics on the north buttress, the latest involving my hardest lead for some time, with an epic run to the top since we forgot where the climb finishes. We turned it into a 55m epic pitch, finishing up the classic pulpit chimney – actually it was cool! Every style of climbing was represented. Face, then hand, fist and finger crack, chimney, and a little offwidth. Ha!
Sorry, no new photos or anything yet. Soon… I’m going to Frenchmans cap straight after Melbourne. I’ll take the camera, it’ll be ace!
ciao for now!
