After a load of sport climbing a month ago in a successful bid to tick my project before I headed out to the alps, I have been a bit slack for the past month, lots of eating and drinking have left me feeling heavy, unfit and weak!

I have decided that its now time to shape up, get fit and start cranking on the limestone again!

I headed to the Cornice at Chee Dale with Addy (crazy spaniard), the Cornice is a pretty steep limestone crag in the Peak District, its a great venue but the warmups start at 7a so it was a pretty stiff introduction to the place.

We had a great day but didnt climb too well, only flashing one route out of the 4 we tried, this was mainly due to the really technical, hard to read nature of the rock, moves that at first seemed impossible, were actually pretty easy after you figure them out!

I'm really psyched to get out as much as possible now, desperate to get fitter and start ticking some hard routes again!
