Repeating the Nadser
(7c) at Kyloe-in-the-Woods. Watch out for me slapping
wildly and completely missing a hold at the top, to
the cries of "high! high! high!" from Andy. Youtube

it again! Youtube

On the first ascent
of Launch Sequence (7a/b) at Redheugh. Grade depends
on the abilty to jump to the starting holds! Youtube

First ascent of Out
of the Dark (7b) at the Loch Lomond boulders, named
because of the bottomless (I kid you not) pit that
it climbs out of!

First ascent of Out
of the Blue (7c) at Loch Lomond. This one was so-named
because the problem spends several months of the year
under the water level of the loch. Useless trivia:
There was also a shop called 'Out of the Blue' around
the corner from the flat I lived in at the time. Youtube

Repeating Power is Nothing
Without Control (7c) at Shaftoe. Check out how tired
I am on the easy final moves. Youtube

This was one of my earliest
hard problems; on the third ascent of the rarely repeated
Pulp Friction (7c+) at Bowden Doors. Youtube

Every time I watch this
Ifeel luckier and luckier! I spent days trying to
hang the slot and this was the 1 in 1000 go; check
out the rain starting as I get on the problem, within
30 seconds it was chucking it down. So lucky! Oh,
and Andy tried this for at least a couple of days
and reckons I am "on crack" only grading it 7c+! Youtube
