Up up and away

The Swiss Gneiss kit! got some new gear can't wait to give it a burn



Today is the day and I'm frantically packing for my flight to Milan tonight in the big silver bird. Super excited to be getting away, relax and climb for a whole three weeks! Weather over in Switzerland has crapped out a bit over the past week so I've packed my woolly hat and I'm hoping for some nice weather soon.

I get in on the 27th then I pick up big burly Pat Reynolds on the 28th and big strong viking Tor joins us on the 7th. Can't wait to catch up with these guys and crush some Gneiss.

I'll try keep plenty of updates and photos from the trip coming over the next few weeks

Hope you all had a great Christmas!

Busy Busy

So I haven't updated in a while but have been very busy over the past month or so training and getting ready for Switzerland which is now only two weeks away. So crazy it's came around so fast! I haven't been climbing much at all but doing a lot of strength based training With Mark and the guys at Evolution climbing and training. These guys really know their stuff and is definitely the place to go if you want to get really strong : ) Thanks for the help guys!

I've started climbing again and I'm feeling better and better each week apart from being sore and tired all the time from the training. I'm hoping after a week or so of rest before I go I'll be feeling Tip Top when I hit the ground in Switzerland. It's going to be a great trip and I'm really looking forward to catching up with my mates Pat and Tor over there and hitting the Gneiss blocs. I'll definitely keep the updates happening and get some photos up as the trip goes along.
