Over the past few weeks I have been getting out and about exploring the excellent limestone venues in the area, Chee Dale Cornice and Raven Tor to name a few.

I have currently been focussing my training purely on stamina rather than power (this does mean that I am getting shut down indoors!)  However I am noticing a significant improvement in my sport climbing, being able to shake out and recover on ever smaller holds.

I have found a few routes at around f7b+ that should go pretty soon, the technical, unreadable nature of the limestone does not lend itself very well to onsighting however once you know the moves the routes instantly become much easier!

I had another training session this morning before work, the plan is to rest for the rest of today and tomorrow then hopefully get out on thurs and fri, fingers crossed for good conditions!
