I just finished an amazing Christmas, New
years break in the Blue Mountains packed with good friends, food and climbing.
With Rob up from Tassie, Tracey down from Queensland, and Jack and Artur over
from Perth the house was packed. Days were spent visiting cafes and a variety
of crags. It felt great trying a bunch of new routes without the self-imposed
pressure of actually sending anything.
I also got the GoPro out and managed to get
some footage of Tracey on a classic 26 in Centennial Glen called Trix Roughly
which I edited together only slightly better than my last attempt (see Shogun
in my last post).

Tracey managed to one up me with her video
of a cool multipitch out in the Grose Valley we climbed.
One the final day of the break William Chan
who is visiting from Hong Kong offered to take photos of me on Shogun. I redid
all the moves quite easily, which was a bit disconcerting as it left me
wondering how hard the route really was. Only time will tell.

It would seem work is coming to an end and
at some time soon I will be able to head overseas and try some major goals
climbing full time again. I am really excited about this as I feel I am
climbing better than ever. I have also recently officially become a Kailas
global athlete. It’s cool to be part of something and get a little recognition
for your passion. Free gear is also cool ;)
