“I hadn't done any lead climbing outdoors in over a year and my previous hardest grade was 8a due to not having tried anything harder.”

Blimey.

It's a double-edged sword climbing in the same gym as Hamish.

On one hand -  it's great to see how much better he gets over time.

On the other hand - he's got better over time and now easily warms up on what I consider a project!

> After a relaxed first day to ease himself into the Siurana style gently, Hamish tied-in for Jungle Speed 8c+/9a, formerly 9a. Two sessions later, he clipped the chains.

Hahaha
