This year we did not want to miss the holiday we had ahead of Easter, so Laia few months ago came up with the bright idea to go alone for a week with our small to Fontainebleau, and I have to say thank you, go alone implies some handicaps when scaled according to problems, but in the end I think it was more positive than negative, but not if you've noticed in chains and how well we have managed our time.

It has been another hard winter here in Scotland. The long dark nights, the rain and the work commitments have once again meant that rock activity has been limited. Same old story huh?! Well, with a weather window coinciding with a few days off there was nothing for it but to escape the country all together. I have never been the best boulderer and this year I am determined to turn that around. I have been seeing some progression in the training and was keen to apply it to the boulders.

This trip is my sixth to the Magic Forest. Six times I’ve sat through the often-hectic and always dull flight on a tiny tube full of winter-sick people and at least one screaming...

I woke up at 6 AM to go to the airport in Denver. A day before I was at Nederland, where I have been living for the last five months. Waking up at that time, so early in the morning, has always been very difficult to me, but once at the airport I was all excited, doing all the checking-in of my back pack and stuff, ready to go to France.After the long eight hours in the plane, watching movies and trying to sleep, I finally get to Paris airport. There I stayed at my friends house, an apartment...
