When youre nearing the end of your session but you just dont want to leave it behind! I was tired, pumped and hungry but REALLY wanted to top this bloc. Not sure why really, just had a feeling of not wanting to leave it unfinished Its funny how big a move can feel to you and then watching it back...

Excuse the quality of the photos, theyre old! But watching CWIF made me reminisce Ive lost count how many CWIFs Ive done but I remember standing on that podium a fair few times. Though never that top spot! I was a match away from it in 2009 with one hand on the top but atlas, on the last bloc too...

Fun little wiggly purple from today With added banter but not that I could hear it when I was climbing Some of you might be needing to warm up for this one! Enjoy

Back to the old school Its not really old school but climbing at this wall represents a big chapter in my climbing life over 10 years ago now. Having a session back here today felt like old times apart from the colours I was climbing on Climbing on the comp wall was deeply reminiscent of competin...

Lets have a board session! Pretending that board climbing feels how it did before In reality though, even though it does not (yet) I had fun on the board today with @graciemartinclimber even with the intermittent babysitting between attempts. Thanks G! The fingers had a stern awakening and the ...

Well both be eternally grateful for the little bundle of joy you are, changing our lives for the better, making us laugh, and cry! For all the hours spent aw...

Surprised myself with this dynamic bloc at @9.8_gravity_climbing gym in Lisbon. Took me 3 tester goes to stick the swing move and then when I was there almost forgot how to climb I slowly ambled my way to the top. Its nice to dare do these kind of blocs again. Although not a hard bloc, it feels g...

I could write an essay on all the things I dont feel good at or strong doing at the moment. But for this one, Im just happy I could piece it together and get it done. The first move was the real test for me but my fingers eventually kept up with what my brain was telling them to do and bingo, I m...

When youve not filmed yourself for a while so you forget to clean the lense before you press record This climb felt good Probably not the intended beta, but theres no way my shoulders are holding those holds without the heel

She won multiple British Bouldering Championships, and was a honed competitor on the World Cu...

I thought Id have a dangle and see where my fingers were at. When Ive fingerboarded in the past I stay off this edge as my fingers are so flexible, it hurt my first joint to add heavy weight. But Im in no danger off adding any heavy weights right now My finding was that 8kg was more than enough ...

We did a thing Yesterday I married my best friend and partner in the wild ride of life at a small ceremony with family. But Koa obviously stole the show Now a Leah Lloyd LLBut forever a Crane
