Too much?

Well can you have it? Too much that is... Its getting ridiculus! Everywhere i look there sending going on! And it's motivating me past critical mass!!! On one hand you've got Neal - me mate! Out in the wilds of Thailand finally sending routes and projects and steaming towards his first 8a, 8a+, 8b etc... after years of climbing and being generally strong...

Neals only setback was being born Irish (also our biggest asset :) ) and having no bolted rock within 4 hours drive from his home! Its a setback we all have to endure - plus the fact that there are no decent training facilities in the country to allow even a half-decent chance at building up some stamina - well obviously thats a bit of an exaggeration, if you really want it, you'll train for it on whatever you've got and get it! Neal is proof of this...

Then theres MacLeod - projecting his next new hardest ever boulder problem and wandering up E7's and 8's all over the place! http://www.davemacleod.blogspot.com/ Plus these guys know how to blog! Maybe thats helped by having something to blog about!? Hmmmm...

Well Not much i can do on that front at the moment - Caroline is at this moment going through an interview for a post graduate course - so needless to say the last week or so have been spent collectivly preparing for that. But the End is nigh.... Kev is due over in a week and a bit and i've been concentrating on training solidly and more importantly consistantly for the last while. Hopefully i'll have a benchmark for progress throughout the year after Kevs visit.
