Golden Shadow 8B+ Boulder | worked 30th Aug 2015

Total mental war of attrition! Marc le Menestrel saw me on it and described my climbing as 'dancing on rock'. A little bit pleased.

2017 Bordello 8B Boulder | worked 6th Apr 2017
Bordello SDS 8B+ Boulder | worked 23rd Apr 2017

Very nearly broke me (literally), that's the hardest I've pushed my fingers on any problem. Used mikes left hand sidepull crimp sequence on the stand but a slightly easier sequence on the sit hence the personal downgrade. Still the hardest thing I've done. [1]
