Congrats on the promotion Andy! Another busy week is upon me as final week in job before starting new job next Monday = lots to do.
Sun - Early start. Soloed Ampitheatre Buttress, Direct Route on Milestone Buttress (going right at the bi-valve and skipping the chimney as someone was in it), Grooved Arete, before traversing over to Idwal -starting up Ordinary Route to avoid some damp and finishing up Charity from the step over.Sunday was a blast! Busy rolling the legs this morning, they're pretty tight. Days like this are what I used to do when I was a scrambler but often I'd back off the crux moves, so it was nice to be able to just spend the day in my own little bubble, enjoying the movement and enjoying the scenery. Padding up the top of Charity to meet Sean, who'd just gone up Faith - I was really happy. August has been a blast! Salbit Sudgrat, then this. Yep. Happy.
I used to love those sorts of days; probably the best I've every had in the mountains.

It wasn't until I did that few hours coaching with John Kettle back in February and we were chatting about climbing motivation, that I realised I'd almost stopped doing the very thing I started climbing to do - big, easy days in the mountains.All the training and injuries were worth it on Sunday
MTG: 8c in Margaleffeel in pretty reasonable condition but want to push on for Margalef,
Snowdonia does, especially with the short approaches. Most places in Scotland the walk in is the crux for me!
Th: Woodwell. Spend 2 hours trying to do TBOBN and failed :D soooooo close sooooo many times. Daft problem, but great...
Good work Tom!

You still planning on being there at the start of November? We're taking a slow drive down through Font and the Ariege in Oct but should be there by the turn of the month.
First 7B+ of the year...
