You off this weekend guy? Enjoy, if the forecast is anything like down here you've timed it perfectly. I'll be feeling jealous whilst analysing x-ray scattering data like a g.

Hopefully it'll be okay for the week, bit of a royal fucking tomorrow so Donald might postpone crossing till sunday. Enjoy the science merk.

Yep on it, any whisky suggestions for the discerning punter whilst in Oban?

You could get it straight from the Oban distillery? Even do a tour.

I remember liking the standard Oban 14 y.o. - a typical fresh and fruity coastal malt (broadly like Clynelish).

It seems that I can't help climbing well at the moment. And that is quite shocking because I can't moan about anything.
Went to the Dolomites this weekend, and on steep, burly problems I felt like at home. I managed to flash a few 7's including two 7c and was very close to doing 8a when usual Summer storm stopped play.
Great great great condition, great group of friends, great everything.
"Tests are encouraging..." I joked while driving North on Friday night.
Ondra must be shitting himself.

Check out this for cross training.
These lads have been training with us for a while and they're not bad climbers now too!

Yep, that was me. Great evening to be out, almost too hot to start with. Shakin like a Leaf is a top route.

Put an old project to bed on Saturday. The Circus V6 FA. Last move: off balance, low percentage, pogo dyno from very wide compression.




And today, ticked another V7. Pearl Necklace. Found this one hard! 8 sessions all up. Couple weeks ago dabbed a spotter on the last move. Then yesterday, fell off the top hold (photo - this move is crux for me). Then did it today maybe 5th go.
