Can you spot the ❤️?
Heart Attack in Rocklands. I remember the day when @kilifish and @anna_stoehr put it up together and told me how good it was. I can't believe I only got round to climbing it this last season! A fantastic climb with a lovely pinch of spice to it!

South African Railroads 7b+, solving some nasty crimps with a heel hook that should be too far away. A nice climb on a nice day with some nice friends. The photo is good too - 📷@tatzab

Broadside Arete / Roadcrew Arete in Rocklands. Get pretty high up and then swing around on some massive jugs.
Not a bad view from the top either 👌

Working Entry of the Gods alongside a very good friend. A moment I'm grateful for.

The face you make when you've just crimped down on knife edges to do a climb but somehow still enjoyed it.

"The southwest face of the Alien is one of the most impressive at the topside. But unfortunately - it will either require a rope or steel underpants due to its height." - Topside Topo
.
Feeling very privlidged to put up a first ascent on such a revered piece of rock! Entry Of The Gods on the Alien boulder. Not too sure on the grade, it might just squeak 7c. Had to go into berserker mode for that last move with only a small pad to protect me.

Mantling 101: Don't do this.
.
Lots of new lines on some old boulders lately. Here's a wildly alternative route on Big Jane. A start from Leftism is waiting to be done for the full U-Turn.
. 📷 Thanks to @petercrane for being concerned. I did a few flips on the dismount but everything was under control...

An odd one here.
.
Do you think that the extra dynamic style of comp climbing we see nowadays will start to affect how we climb boulders outside?
.
The normal beta is to statically smear up this slab on small feet but I found it just as easy to leap and press to the top. Something I probably wouldn't have thought of back in the days before comp climbing had its jumpy vibe. What are your thoughts?

This has got to be one of the best lines in Wicklow, if not all of Ireland! Finite Difference - 6c
This area has seen some superb additions to Irish climbing by @daraghoconnor and @philipdukeclimbing who also happen to be spotting me! Hats off to the awesome @ninjafingersphotography for such a great capture.

What is the meaning of this?!
Sport climbing on one of the hotter days in Cape Town. I don't know what I was climbing or how hard it was but I think I had a good time? South Africa is one of the best places in the world to enjoy the outdoors and it has so much more to offer than many people are aware of!

Splash of Red - 7c+
Sound on
This was supposed to be the project I wouldn't finish. The first time I checked the climb out on a rope, I couldn't even do half of the upper section moves. Anyone who knows me is pretty aware that small holds are not my forte... I did not believe I would be climbing this thing anytime soon. As other projects fell, I found myself coming back to this magnificent arete with the thought of projecting away my last few days in Rocklands. Then one morning I broke through. Fingers crimping harder than they ever should, I screamed my way through moves of my anti-style, for the first time, 6 metres up.
Thank God the one move I did do on the rope was the blind throw to the top jug...
Of all the climbs I've ever done, this is definitely the most disbelief I've experienced holding the top.
