The Log Shed

The road to pain

Ok, i haven't done a BLOG for a while. Things have moved on at quite a pace, had a superb summer with countless amounts of trad climbing with a real up surge in the Drytooling arena. Hodge got vandalised, me and Dean represented the Works at the BMC meet in Glossop around Sept time and all manner of other stuff. Oh yeh and the big jump forward is the creation of the Log Shed AKA climbing wall in the field.

Lots have been done and the wall is filled with a huge array of problems. 

We are currentley training for the Dry tooling comps in Kinlochleven on Nov1st till 3rd, all looking good
