i really like sandstone, wish there was more of it around here.

Sand stone is the best.

I only Bouldered a few days in the peak district and in Scotland.

Both sandstone areas because I'm a connaisseur. (peak and torridon in Scotland)
sandstone bouldering is the best, by far. Gneiss is pretty cool too. Granite is a bit rough and limestone is rope only.

I go to bleau as often as possible (actually I would be there right now if this covid shit hadnt happened ... Easter holidays and perfect weather) and Rocklands was pretty cool too.

Edit: the move after the heel goes to the sloper rail with the left hand again, right still in the underling. Match the rail with the right hand (the little 30cm wide and 1cm deep slopy streak with chalk) with a desperate right heel in the roof to avoid swing, then left hand into the deep two finger pocket(the right of the two obvious ones) , right hand further right. Swing left heel into right heel, go to good three finger pocket 20cm below the top with the right hand . Stem left hand where the left heel has been and go to the top with the right hand. Reposition. Then easy mantle.

We've only got grit and lime round here. Its all i know intimately. Grits amazing when its a frosty winters day, the sun comes out burns it off with a gentle breeze.
You missed out not trad climbing in the Peaks, We have a lot of short routes but some real quality stuff.
Not done font will do this year if things change, missed so much skiing and got 4 pre paid chunnel crossing needing using up.

I've actually got no photos of interest. Once lock down ends ill start taking some and add some UK flavour to the thread.
Weather's great now for climbing here after a disastrous autumn and winter.

Well good news. My shoulder is not destroyed, but I should have taken a break right away. Just a a strained muscle. (delta apparently) which I didn't let heal.

I should have had a 2 week break right after it starting annoying me. (who would have thought? )

Hadn’t done this in a while. Still very enjoyable.

^^^ Mexican? Nice route to get back in the game, that bottom is always so fun!

Losing my religion and Floyd the Barber. Nice little reintro to friction and balance.

Oh. That beak of rock looker's right did seem out of place.

i miss climbing so much. i can't believe i haven't been able to get any days on rock this year. nothing else is going to wipe away the stain of my worst and lightest ski season since 2004. i got a flapper from doing dumb dynamic shit on my hangboard yesterday, fuck.

I'm starting to miss it to. I've been going through a weird phase the past couple seasons where I have a really hard time getting excited about existing routes and I'm only interested in developing my own lines. After a month of not touching rock or even plastic I'm crazing sunny limestone pitches and clipping bolts on the most poorly engineered and chossy lines...

[Rossymcg]

no where to climb. Just knock up a home wall like this,

Sorry no action shots..., but I like it when you hike up to a Boulder with one pad and still have this crash zone. Stash pads for the win.
7C/8A, V9/11 depending when you top out. Not a real traverse because it goes up as well.
Crazy Hooks and power precision moves.
Second Pic is from a friend who was there the other day.

Thrid Pic is from a different area in the black forest. Some cleaning after this week of rain maybe.... FA will be mine!
