Dunc's Climbing Blog: June 2012
http://climbingblogblog.blogspot.com/2012_06_01_archive.html
Blogging on Life and Climbing. Thursday, 14 June 2012. Your own desert island paradise. It's closer than you realise. And the name of your new favourite place? A group of 11 fun-loving trad crushers loosely based around having attended Bangor University (with a couple of exceptions) were assembled by Jimmy Marjot, and after various people saying yes then no, and some organisational fuck-ups, we all finally merged in Oban, Scotland on May the 26th. As we turned towards our landing spot, I could hardly bel...

Blogging on Life and Climbing. Monday, 16 May 2011. Failure. and Inspiration. 8220;Remember, there are no mistakes, only lessons. Love yourself, trust your choices, and everything is possible.” - Cherie-Carter Scotts. Ok so here is a bit of an abstract blog that can be applied to all aspects of life I guess, but for me is mainly climbing focussed. Http:/ www.ukclimbing.com/logbook/showlog.html? I have decided that every time I go sport climbing I will try something of F7a or above, as this will be the wa...

Dunc's Climbing Blog: September 2011

Blogging on Life and Climbing. Thursday, 29 September 2011. Ups, Downs and Silver-Linings. So I am now back in Bangor, in a new house, with 2 different housemates, and apparently 300 hours of work to do for just one module. I have been out climbing a bit though. Before Florence upped and left us for the bright lights of Chamonix, we avoided the hurricane-force winds and did a bit of evening slate climbing; I led Plastic Soldier, a brilliant, long 6a with plastic soldiers hidden a long the way. First off ...

Dunc's Climbing Blog: March 2012
http://climbingblogblog.blogspot.com/2012_03_01_archive.html
Blogging on Life and Climbing. Thursday, 15 March 2012. Airtime, the antithesis of climbing, yet without the fall, looming or experienced, it would be a boring 2-dimensional exercise whereby half the fun would be taken away. If you aren't risking falling off then you aren't trying hard enough, but imagine if there was never the risk of falling? Falling is a big part of climbing, and I like it that way. What the F* *! They obliged, and whilst I waited, I realised I had stopped swinging. Usually, whils...

Dunc's Climbing Blog: February 2012
http://climbingblogblog.blogspot.com/2012_02_01_archive.html
Blogging on Life and Climbing. Wednesday, 22 February 2012. Gotta keep on, keeping on. If you feel like this too, then I recommend you watch this video:. Http:/ www.ted.com/talks/lang/en/srikumar rao plug into your hard wired happiness.html. Happiness is the key, or else what is the point? Anyway, back to climbing. As I said the weather has been real bad, but I have been trying to get out, honest! Chris on the send on the un-named V6. The second trip, we arrived to find the rock wet! Tryfan, and the Carn...

Powered by the Noor. Wednesday, 23 April 2014. There has been a fair bit of upheaval since my last post in early January. I've moved over to North Wales with Laura as we were both offered full time work and thought it would be a good change of scene, being closer to the sea, hills and fresh air! Fingers crossed that it won't be too much longer as there is only so long that you can function with the use of a microwave and takeaways alone! Aside from the climbing goal for this year being back on track, it ...

Powered by the Noor. Friday, 26 September 2014. Little Lamb near Aber Falls. Since I last posted back in April, Laura and myself were fortunate enough to move into the house we were waiting on and have been doing little bits and pieces to it since to try and make it feel like our own home. Tricky hanging Arete at Cae Du. I'm hoping to finish it off this weekend as the weather has picked up over the last 2 days and the temps are slowly dropping. There can be only one (1KG egg). Updated with some pics!

Powered by the Noor. Thursday, 9 October 2014. Post Summer Scaling Adventures. I've managed to get outside a couple of times in the last 2 weeks just before the turd weather arrived. Mills and Jack @ Chez Hudssion. A couple of weekends ago, Millso and 8c Jee were over in N Wales, so we got together and hit up Crafnant along with O and Alec. We were blessed with dry weather and grips, with the lightest of breezes making it bearable and friction-filled-fun! Some lanky ginge topping out Asswind. Next go, af...

Powered by the Noor. Monday, 22 July 2013. I woke up too early today and have already ran out of things to do before work, so what better a time to write down some goings on and tales of achievement! I've spent the first half of this year getting out to lots of new venues thanks to a remarkable run of good weather that coincided with the end of my 12 week training Period. Some times things do go according to plan. I went to new venues(! And ticked off some great problems such as Baby Buddha roof. A quiet...
