Gramps Update

Me on Flesh Bar v9
Simon on Monkey Bars V8


So we're back from our quick little jaunt, it was a good little trip and great to get away. Couldn't say we did heaps of climbing but we were all pretty tuckered out and just enjoyed getting away for a rest as much as anything. After a big week at work me and Chris ended up staying up for a few beers on Friday night before the flight and jumped in bed around 2.00am before getting back up at 4.00am to race to the airport for our flight, oops. Simon had been up late too setting for the climb fit boulder series so when we hit the Mt Zero cabins Sat arvo we all crashed out.

Sunday was a nice day with a little rain still around we headed up to the Kindy. We bumped into the Melbourne crew and tried grip master v10 with them. Alister Robertson was crushing this tuff classic only to fall at the very end on several shots, he was looking so close so I'm sure it won't be long till it goes down. Me and Simon made a bit of progress on the moves but otherwise got spanked!

Later that arvo Simon sorted all the moves on Monkey Bars v8 and fell just before the end. I managed Flash Gordon v8 which was really nice and climbed beautifully, another Gramps classic. Chris worked the cut and waste traverse in between shots and made some nice links all the way to the end.

Monday the weather crapped out so it was back to the Kindy. Simon just missed out on the Monkey Bars which I thought was very unlucky cause he was looking so solid. It's in the bag for next time. I kept up my string of reversals by starting at the end of Flash Gordon and climbing back to finish on the handle bar of monkey bars. I called this Flesh Bar and proposed V9 as it felt harder for me and is worthwhile for the very different climbing. The idea was to finish up monkey bars but i fell halfway through so it will be one to come back for.

So a pretty quick trip but I feel 100% better having had a bit of time off work and lots of sleep.
