Lara Street

Ritchie on 'Aslaya'


Had a nice session at Lara Street on Sunday. Me and Katy met up with Chris Ritchie and Jason Taffle and headed up on Sunday morning. We ended up having a Cruisey day but managed to put a few nice new problems on the side of the Lara's Lips boulder. Chris added Aslaya nice V1 or V2, Jas added 'My ass is on fire, a spicy V3' I manage a few little problems including 'Prince of Persia V2', 'Johnny Utah V5' and 'Tongue n Cheek V5'. I also managed to finally haul my ass up 'Womb Raider V4' Which is a total classic by Pommy Jason. Nice one lads!

Mmmm new cragging

Found a cool little new area today up the top of Dark Forrest. Nice group of boulders with nice features, nothing super hard but a good little cruisey area. I put up 16 easy probs this arvo so I'll try and get some info up soon. Looks like some of it may have been climbed before?? but I'll put something together in the interest of getting of record of stuff. If any one ever has some recorded info for these crags let me know, i can always credit the first ascents.

Been resting the last few weeks so it felt good to be getting back out and getting some mileage. Now that it's training time again I'll post my training plans as soon as i have a chance. 11 weeks till Swiss to get my shit together.
