On top of that I spent a fair amount of time either side of work deep water soloing at Berry Head, due to the run of pretty good weather for the majority of the month. It was great to get back on all my favourite routes again and free solo in the sunshine over the aqua-marine seas. I was loving it!
I smashed out all the classics and spent plenty of days beasting myself on all the super-steep routes to build my power endurance, with the aim of crushing more classic routes over at Portland and Swanage later in the month, or early September.
However, spells of rain and continuing work commitments put pay to that towards the end of the month. Gutted!
Hopefully I will get a bit of free time in September, either before or during our holiday, to tick some routes off my wish list and fulfill my climbing aims for this year. Where there's a will, there's a way! Haha! Super-psyched for it now! Bring it on! :)
