Its been a While



Since returning from Thailand Ive been busy.
I spent Two weeks in the South Island ,attempted a summit of Mount Arrowsmith (see photo).This was a fantastic trip . The major dificulty was route finding and the shrinking glacier.
Spent two wet days looking at the Charlston seacliffs (see photo again)

And of course Ive clocked some seriius time on my project on short wall. What ive come to is a massive mental block, well I think thats what it is> I can not,at present link the final four moves and it comes down to committing to a sequence that's desperate. Ive spent countless hours working variations and I believe Ive got it sorted and can complete it on top rope but I just cannot link it.
The problem is strenght and mental.Ive started working on several bolder problems and the finger board to build the required physical needs, with this will come mental strenght.
I also spent three days in the central north island climbing Meed's wall on Mount Reuapheau and a day at Kinlock on the lake both cool venues and very different rock and climbing.
