I have been crazy busy finishing up the manuscript for the bouldering book I am writing for Mountaineers Books so have not been able to post recently. But I wanted to announce my new sponsorship with Moon Climbing . I have never been sponsored by a climbing company before, although I had support from Powerbar a while back.

Today Emma and I headed out to meet up with Ben at Bowden Doors. This sandstone scar provides great climbing of all grades on short routes and boulder problems. A busy sunday we saw SPA assesments, many boulderers, lots of climbing teams and several soloists. We climbed many routes from VD to E2 5c. Its a great crag, quick drying and a bit of a sun trap. All the starred routes are of good quality and the gear is good when you need it.
