5.11c | ★★★ Curvaceous - with Alex Climbing Group, Nicole | 31m, 15 | Denver | ★★★ Classic | Tue 11th Jul 2023 | |||
Excellent flowy climbing on great holds with a steep roof on jugs to boot! End of day climb on a perfect July morning with Alex and Nicole!

5.11c | ★★ Variant Fructaliser - with Maria Jose Tamayo, Esau, JuanMa | 24m, 8 | El Chonta | ★★★ Mega Classic | Sat 16th May 2015 | |||
Excellent line that starts with a small traverse to a roof with compression on a big tufa, super cool tea-drinking rest, after which comes a megaclassic traverse on good holds. Reminded me of QLD climbing, not because of the style, but because of the hot weather! Long time since I wore shorts on a climb for sure. El Chonta was insectville this weekend.

5.11c | ★★ Generation x - with Jakob, Patrick, Jared, Alex, Gemma, Michael, Ben, Carrie, Amber | 8 | Shelf Road | Sat 18th Feb 2023 | ||||
Vertical, balancy, and sequency edge climbing with good stances between cruxes. Belayed by Jared, whilst talking with a 55 year old telling us about his skiing days in Bosnia. Great feeling to onsight this!

5.11c | ★ Pink torpedo - with Jakob, Patrick, Jared, Alex, Gemma, Michael, Ben, Carrie, Amber | 7 | Shelf Road | Sat 18th Feb 2023 | ||||
Jakob asked me to put this up all the way to the second anchors. Belayed by him, I had the chance to assess the top crux from the ledge where the first anchors are. Sequency combination of underclings get you past the rooflet crux, quickly followed by a high step crux on a pocket to a textured flat ledge. Great to onsight this!

5.11c | ★★ Estrella de Pétalos - with Esau | 21m, 9 | Jilotepec | ★★★ Classic | Sun 2nd Apr 2023 | |||
Tensiony movement on good crimps and edges. Pumpy but beautiful and fun. Going past the trees and seeing the beautiful sunset with light drops of rain falling on us was amazing! Satisfied with the OS.

6c+ | ★★ Zion - with Igor Khudoshin | 20m | 安顺市 | ★★★ Classic | Sun 11th Dec 2016 | |||
Slopey crux at the bottom followed by tufa-filled goodness, finishing with a nice, but a little dirty veritcal bit. Quite enjoyable!
|
||||||||
6c+ - 7a+ | ★★★ Kyparissi - with Igor Khudoshin, Tracey Hua, Chrissy | 15m, 7 | Kyparissi | ★★★ Mega Classic | Tue 21st Nov 2023 | |||
Excellent way to start the day! Pumpy climbing on a tufa to a rest, then 3D climbing to clip the anchors!
|
||||||||
6c+ | ★★★ Born 2 Be Precious - with Chrissy | 25m, 12 | Leonidio | Thu 16th Nov 2023 | ||||
Flowy, powerful moves on great pockets. Very enjoyable and made me redeem myself after flailing on that middle climb between White Death and this one
|
||||||||
6c+ | ★★ S.O.K. Ext - with Chrissy | 20m, 11 | Leonidio | ★★★ Classic | Thu 16th Nov 2023 | |||
Winding down the day on this chill climb with a cool roof and very techy balancy and crimpy crux exit!
|
||||||||
6c+/7a | ★★★ Fun and Fuck - with Chrissy | 20m, 10 | Leonidio | ★★★ Mega Classic | Thu 16th Nov 2023 | |||
Excellent pumpy, powerful climbing on interesting pockets. Great stuff!
|
||||||||
6c+ | ★★★ I'd Even Grow a Moustache for You - with Chrissy | 28m, 11 | Leonidio | ★★★ Mega Classic | Fri 24th Nov 2023 | |||
Excellent, flowy, varied and at times thought provoking climbing. Get on it!
|
||||||||
5.11c ~5.11b | ★★★ Lime Street - with Chrissy | 20m, 6 | Shelf Road | ★★★ Classic | Fri 13th Oct 2023 | |||
Great techy warmup, pumpy at the top, clipped the chains just in time!! Love Shelf and its peacefulness...
|
||||||||
6c+/7a | ★★ Yorgos Bogos - with Igor Khudoshin, Tracey Hua, Selene | 39m, 23 | Leonidio | ★★★ Classic | Tue 7th Nov 2023 | |||
Great warm-up with long moves to good holds. Thought this was 6b when I went up it, and decided not to stop and rest, and I thought it was a sandbag! It was only later that I learned that it was 6c+/7a. The start of a wonderful, wonderful day.

5.11c | ★★★ Strange Science - with Maria Jose Tamayo, Matt | 15m | Boulder | ★★★ Mega Classic | Thu 3rd Jun 2021 | |||
Couple of years back I think. Logging the ascent for completeness. I think I met Ella on that trip (and Matt met her there too)!
|
||||||||
5.11c | ★★ Fructaliser - with Julie and Paul | 27m, 16 | El Chonta | ★★★ Classic | Thu 5th Jan 2023 | |||
Pumpy and more overhung than it seems! Bit more than a warm up for me
|
||||||||
6c+ | ★ Fire Show - with Igor and Maria and Diego | 17m, 8 | Ton Sai | ★★★ Classic | Wed 17th Oct 2012 | |||
Tried this last year and got denied... Different story this year, 3 shots to get this hard boulder start that I sent 3 minutes after the second attempt. Hardest send so far in Thailand!
|
||||||||
6c+ | ★★ Kagaito Sakapoko — 2 attempts - with Ben | 20m, 6 | Margalef | ★★ Very Good | Mon 24th Apr 2023 | |||
Great route with polished holds that needs better bolting. I took on the first attempt because the distance from the 2nd to 3rd bolt was significant and not worth the fall. I extended the draws and went 2nd go in a straightforward fashion.

6c+ 6a+ | ★ Lykkelige sønner (Bolted in 2014 (unknown name)) - with Maria | 20m | Flatanger | ★★ Very Good | Sat 11th Oct 2014 | |||
Very first climb in Europe! As with all things European as far as I go, we got to a shaky start. Thinking that this was a 6a, Maria got on this for a warm-up. The start challenged her, so she decided to let me go first. A lot harder than it looked! The seemingly solid Norse granite broke on me in a way it seemed as if I was commiting ritual suicide- stabbed myself in the gut! Got on again and bouldered it out, later finding that this was another new line. I think it should be around 6c+.

6c+ | ★★★ Lord Of The Thais p2 - with Igor | 120m, 46 | Railay | ★★★ Mega Classic | Tue 16th Oct 2012 | |||
(Latest guidebook says 7a for this pitch) ... so when I got to the top of the first, I set up TR for Maria and co, after which Igor climbed to the top where I was with relative ease. He was up and ready straight away to lead the second pitch, and as he started, the other guys started TR'ing the first pitch, knocking the rope I was belaying Igor from off the ledge, which lead to the crappiest belaying I've ever done...Sorry Igor! After that, panic made me climb both cruxes clean... Incredible!!!!

6c+ | ★★ In Extremis — 3 attempts - with Ben | 17m, 6 | Margalef | Average | Sun 23rd Apr 2023 | |||
Dafuq. This is a total sandbag! Definitely qualifies for 7a, maybe even low end 7a+ IMO. Bottom boulder is quite physical, followed by pumpy, insecure climbing. There's also large chunks of rock that are dangerously loose to boot. If it were appropriately graded and cleaned, would be a great climb!
