You got my number mate, you are welcome. We might even have a spare bed, or comfy camper van if you want to avoid the wee man's 6:30 wake up call. We will be there early afternoon 23rd and will be away late morning on 30th though.

Well I've been home from Font since lunchtime and have managed to resist the temptation to post on this thread for a few hours but...

On what has certainly been the hottest Font trip I've ever been on I managed to get out for an early session on Tuesday and managed to shaz-waz a flash of this:

Jasper will be disgusted by the complete lack of bikes and Spaniards in this ascent, I replaced them with a wife and a four year old.

Thanks to Neil for suggesting it as something worth looking at.

So, fresh on the heels of the old 8a/8A/E8 first ascent shizzle, I guess there's no pressure at all to flash an 8a now.  :lol:

Had a massive YYFY moment last night when I climbed my long term project, The Riot at Dinas Rock.

I've been working this for two years and had fallen off the the last move over 60 times!  It has been a hard earned YYFY!

MTG: 6b os in Arco at Easter

Phillip Flann at Regina del Lago - sadly very much not to be confused with the similarly-named legendary Dolomites classic, but good climbing nevertheless.

My third go at a 6b this week, confirming what I already knew about my relative strengths & weaknesses. Philip Flann has a short crux section over a bulge, with a comfy rest beforehand to look at and plan the moves. The other two I tried were steeper and more sustained, with more straightforward moves, but I lack the experience/confidence to see the sequences and go at them quickly enough.

New MTG: overhanging pumpy 6b onsight.

Also ticked a 6B yesterday on the campsite boulders at Prabi.

I went to Hartland Quay for the first time last week. It was brilliant.
