Hardcore Training Facility

29/06/2026

June 22 to 28
Hard week at work with me doing some setting, but good overall. I did 2 boulder comps but unfortunately they have done away with the super vet (over 60s) category! It now means I have to compete with much younger folks! I might not continue with them; we’ll see.
Hope you all are having a great time. 😄

May 25th to 31st

It's been a while and I hope your all well and climbing a lot. 😁

I stopped formally training with Lattice in April but I am still training and climbing. I needed a break from being tired all the time!

Anyway, I took a couple of days off work this week, since it was half term here and Claire and the boys were home. Feeling more positive these days.

There' still more I need to do but hey I am on the path... 😉
