Going to be getting my first taste of #bouldering on real rock in a couple of weeks!

My gym are running a few introduction days geared at people who've never climbed outside before, in the beautiful Peak District (Burbage South specifically).

Also planning to do a 2 day intro to outdoor #climbing course over a weekend later this year, also on the Peak District Gritstone, on my long road to learning to eventually lead trad routes.

Checked out the new Crux location in South Austin last weekend

And I got the chance to try out my new climbing boots. They work flawlessly on the snow/ice and the auto crampons are slick.

That said, too heavy on the feet for the approach trail, so I had to figure out how to strap them to my little climbing pack.

Went on a #climbing trip to Nissedal in #Norway with a big group of friends. Despite the early spring in the Nordics, we initially saw snow, rain, and temperatures around 5°C.

Pic: Hægefjell as we found it, wet and snowy

However, on the last three days of the trip the weather gradually got better and I managed to climb three multipitch routes. 🧵
