	Isles of Wonder	8B (Boulder worked)	Oct 2013
	Isles of Wonder	One day ascent. What an amazing boulder. One of the best for the grade in UK. Shame it was so wet but still had an absolute blast on this boulder, The sit start will be next. Wales is amazing.
	Belly of the Beast	8B (Boulder worked)	8th Nov 2013
	Belly of the Beast	First ascent. The super extension to Keen Roof starting as far back in the cave as possible and blasting straight out through the roof into Keen Roof, I opted for NO knee bar. Prob soft 8B+ if you use the knee bar?, repeat how you like. So many days of struggling to put this one together. Dealing with wet holds for the last two weeks has made this one epic to get done. Low 8C without knee bar, time will tell.
