Hello

It was my 35th birthday yesterday and my brother and sister asked me what I wanted from them - en fact they have been for a couple of weeks now.

What would be some great climbing presents?

I mainly indoor boulder but I want to climb outdoors more including outdoor bouldering: Font, Peaks, etc?

I have 5.10 Anasazis, would it be good to have a pair of Katana's and Vapours to?

Any advice or ideas would be helpful and greatly appreciated.

Happy birthday

Do you have a bouldering mat for outdoor bouldering? If not that might be an idea?

In reply to Mountain Spirit: ya can never have too many guide books!

In reply to Mountain Spirit: Do they have a budget in mind?

In reply to Mountain Spirit:

Happy Birthday! Why not ask them to get you a day with a guide doing some great routes somewhere picturesque where you haven't been before or would like to return to?

Hello.

That seems a great idea.

I would love to return back to North Wales and do some classic routes!

Any suggestions for areas would be helpful!

In reply to Mountain Spirit:

Presents are to be given at Christmas.

Unless its from your wife /partner ,a present for reaching that milestone age (35) is a bit unnecessary.

In reply to Mountain Spirit:
Plenty of bouldering DVDs out there for some insiration, guide books, book-books, I've just finished Fiva! made me want to go to Norway.

thanks

bye!

Happy birthday Savvas.

How about a bouldering mat? Or maybe a trip somewhere like the Peak with your brother and sister?

In reply to jkarran:

Hello.

I was thinking along those lines.

A bouldering mat would be a great idea?

Any make or product you recommend?

My sister is a doctor so it is quite hard for her to get the time off and my brother lives in Bristol and works at Bristol University.
