Who?
The chances are that if you're reading this then you know me, but if you don't I'm Byron and I like to climb. I've just finished uni in Biringham, moved back with the 'rents and am living in good old (flat but very well situated) Cheshire: Northwich to be exact. - The closer parts of Wales, The Peaks, and The Lakes are pretty much all an hour away, it's not exactly a bikeride down the road, but there's more variety, choice and quality an hours drive away than you can shake a stick at.
What?
Bouldering, and lots of it! My first and true love, ostly with local heros Daniel Boocock (Bob) and Danny Mills (Wig), occasionally with the beast of lock-off which is Gav Nixon also. Hopefully a bit of sport (I am in serious need of some endurance, and mixing things up is always a good thing). I may even venture into the wonderful world of trad this winter, we shall see, although I am recovering from one horrific sprained ankle which I did 3 months ago (still cannot run, despite physio + exercises), which wouldn't be the best thing to fall on.
That's enough of that, for now I'll copy in my aims for 2010 from my old climbing club (UBMC) forum and say where I'm at.
Boulder 7c - Not done, hopefully this'll go soon, I'll be ambitious and say I'd like to do 7c+
Highball E1/E2 - (with pads, I'm no lunatic) Did finger distance at curbar (amazing), unfortunately got unlucky with a rock under a pad and a dodgy spot trying the direct version, which is what tore every ligament going in my right ankle. Thanks to this unfortunately there's not going to be much more highballing for at least 6 months, my foot doesn't bend very well, and won't really do slabs.
Weigh 10.7 - Done
Get out to more venues - Done, recently went to the lakes for the first time, especially impressed by the quality.
Get better at 1 armers - Done, can nearly do 3 from d-hang on each arm.
That really is it for now, hopefully more updates to follow, well done if you reached the end, I'm good at rambling :)
