It’s taken 40 years to be this adequate.Tickling the edges of mediocrity, yet still not as handy as in my own head. Low effort BMC busybody NW region. The journey and the destination.
Location
NW
Best Climbing Experience
Soloing 87 routes on the grit either side of a bivvy night out. Just like Big Ron, only about a million grades easier. Being with nice people in nice places. Being alone in nice places.
