Ascents in Aegean Islands as various tick types

3rd shot greased off before the crux!! Waah! Got back on and to the anchors clean.

Haha I'm done! Still, same high point, back on below and to the anchors clean. Not bad considering how I'm feeling and it's all training.... Now I'm gonna sleep for a week!!!!

First shot bolt to bolt putting up the draws. Crux felt a lot easier. Windy cool day. Made all the difference!

(2) great climbing, cruxy

(3) high pointed on third

Goal of getting to the anchor without crying achieved! Surprised though. Tried a second shot and had nothing in the tank!

One good shot to the anchors. Linked the middle crux, found a couple of sneaky knee bars and generally found it easier than my last shot. Only made it to the fourth bolt on my second go. This climb is exhausting!!

(2) found a cheeky kneebar, might need that

(2) new high point

Ooh two shots! Progress!

warmup b2b 2) clipped last bolt fell off 3) clipped last bolt did two moves fell off ... Can only fall off three more higher moves. Running out of time and good conditions.

Was doing really well on the second shot until the heel hook rock on. The reverberating crack was my knee not appreciating the move. Took it easy after that but it felt ok...

Different route in a new sector

(3) 2 really good goes and one with nothing - great moves but tape fingers, sharp tufa

Brought a knife to a gun fight today and got annihilated ..learnt that getting on this one feeling 75% does not cut the mustard (2)

(2)

Not sure how I didn't send this today..

Again masterpiece of crimps , saw some moves seems doable.

(3) down to one fall on the 3rd shot

(4) high point on the 4th should go next session in good conditions

(2) beta runs

(3) climbed through crux on 2nd shot but muffed the feet. Taped little finger as was getting chewed up but rolled off on crux hold on 3rd shot, then easy clean to anchor - a little disappointed but sometimes you walk away empty handed, one for next time

Fell off the first crux 4 times. Couldn't hold on long enough with one hand to clip the next bolt. Sun hits 1pm. Not quite sure why I wanted to try this in the sun.

2nd nut and hanger loosened itself and fell off

first real day of climbing...im so unfit! can do all the moves though

second shot realised how really really unfit i really am...for now..

the start always gets me..until you find the tricks

so much better the second time round.

still working on my fitness but definitely seeing improvements. back is still ok. x3

refresher top rope.putting a lot together

transfer move is just a little tricky

getting tired but all moves pretty wired

A little cheesy today but refreshed knee bar beta and new top out beta

Nope. Back is #%*#ed. No more steep for me. Pity, as looking back on the video of when I popped my knee on it, I had it wired.
