Ted Kingsnorth's climbing (Cover Photo - redpoint attempt on True North, July 2016 - Pic: Ramon Marin). Friday, 31 July 2015. Hajj and future projects. Hi folks I thought I would write a few words about my experiences on Hajj 8c at the Tor. A UKC Report. David Pett's Video 'The Outdoor Office Part 1' of Hajj. Video Still courtesy of Jon Clark - the crux of Hajj. So, what made the difference to doing Hajj in the end after trying it extensively last year? My own video of an attempt from last year. Also, I ...

Ted Kingsnorth's climbing (Cover Photo - redpoint attempt on True North, July 2016 - Pic: Ramon Marin). Monday, 30 June 2014. Bat Route and Overjustified. For the past 3 months since coming back from Smith Rock, a large number of my climbing days at the weekends have been spent up at Malham getting stuck into 2 routes in particular, Bat Route and Unjustified. Having ticked Bat Route in May and Unjustfied on Sunday, I thought I would share my experiences of both for those who are interested. Now this rout...

Ted Kingsnorth's climbing (Cover Photo - redpoint attempt on True North, July 2016 - Pic: Ramon Marin). Sunday, 27 April 2014. To Bolt or not to Be. I had written all of the moves down since the last trip (and obsessed over them in every waking moment! Crag scene - Greg, Tara and Andrew. A productive trip to Bishop ensued instead). A lonely place, the 10th bolt shake. Some different views of the Beast! Your support is greatly appreciated! So, how did the route go? First hard moves by the 3rd. I couldn't ...

Ted Kingsnorth's climbing (Cover Photo - redpoint attempt on True North, July 2016 - Pic: Ramon Marin). Saturday, 22 June 2013. Well some of the dust has settled since I finally managed to complete the extension last sunday so now seems as good a time as any to set down some thoughts. Hopefully the following will cause others to get psyched and get out there to send some things at their personal limit! This might be a bit long for some tastes but if so, just skip to the last paragraph! Evening sessions a...

Ted Kingsnorth's climbing (Cover Photo - redpoint attempt on True North, July 2016 - Pic: Ramon Marin). Sunday, 17 August 2014. I started trying Kaabah on the same day I clipped the chains of the Extension back in June last year. It felt like the logical next step to make use of the fitness gained in trying a similar route but even harder! The Mecca Crux (Video Still). Now just the link in of Mecca to go, easier said than done! It feels the easiest thing in the world just to grab the draw and give up!

Ted Kingsnorth's climbing (Cover Photo - redpoint attempt on True North, July 2016 - Pic: Ramon Marin). Saturday, 27 December 2014. Hajj attempts and new Mecca Linkup. The Crux move of Hajj (Photo: Jon Clark). Just past the crux on Mecca (Photo: Jon Clark). Mecca linkups and projects. As the end of the season approached, I wanted something to show for my efforts and on last session before the Works party, the Whore of Babylon link went down. Unfortunately (or fortunately!
