  4. Castaway cove has is possibly the most photogenic cove on Rhossili beach with some fantastic routes in it, and I've done quite a few now; this is the hardest so far and lives up to the great movement of the others. The only problem with Rhossili is you're always racing the tide and this was a quick pit-stop on the way back from Mermaid - the last route of the day. Thanks go to Alesia for the spotting attempt as I wheel-spinned my way up to the rather high first bolt - from my perspective it didn't feel quite as sketchy as it looked (I'd actually allowed for possible barnacle-related foot-slippage with very good hands), but it was definitely a hairier start than I'd imagined! Looks like I'm running out of excuses to not try the harder routes in the cove next time I get there!

  9. Climbing the wall of Sambuco dam with @biglepas. We were all alone and the temperature was perfect – both quite unexpected for a Sunday with 32 °C in Locarno!

    It's a fun, easy route, ideal for showing someone the basics of multi-pitch climbing. And as a bonus, one can abseil down the whole 102 m of the wall afterwards 😊

  14. #Climbing bubble, any suggestions for shoes that are less keen on deforming my toes than Solutions? Probably something softer too. The use case is indoor #bouldering.

    EDIT: got some ideas, thank you!

  19. Finally got to B-Pump in Tokyo. It's bigger than anything in Australia, but I gotta say, the bouldering gyms in Melbourne beat it in lots of ways. Spoogy holds, OK but not brilliant setting, and the facilities were pretty poor. My gym in Melbourne has a sauna, weights gym, and three types of water on tap, at B-Pump there aren't even showers and you have to buy water from a vending machine.

  24. More magic wood climbing, this time by night!
    This was the same trip, just posting late.

    This is Kanonärohr (6c).

  28. Next up from Sister 2.5 on the Gower is "Schmills and Boon" on the tiny, top section of the area. A short, little number with an obvious (though not to read apparently) crux that packs a punch... Didn't help that when I actually sent it, I was crimping on some sort of vegetation that was gradually sliming my hand off the hold. Thanks go to Helen for a solid catch and putting up with me faffing around with the start a lot.

  33. A safety notice from Edelrid regarding the Ohm II, Ohmega and Fuse and the potential for the webbing component to be fitted incorrectly.

    If you have one, it's worth checking, particularly if you've replaced the webbing (or are about to).

  36. How far away is the first 9b boulder?

    In 2016, Nalle established the world's first 9a/ V17. Now, 10 years later, Elias has proposed the first 9a+/ V18.

    If future repeat ascents confirm the grade, the historical trend of the world's hardest boulder problems suggests the first 9b could arrive in roughly 12–15 years.

    Do you think we'll see a 9b boulder before 2040?
