D&G Goals

Back again after a long break... same old story, can't comprehend how excited I am to be climbing again - its amazing that I lasted so long with out.

Again I'm going to focus on D&G climbing because I love the place and all things going well I might even be living there again, although not until next winter :)

Goals for the near future -

2. Zillion Dollar Sadist (arete only) should be 7aish @ Clifton

Other goals for this year include, this mad granite wave I spotted when I was walking near Loch Trool, another winter route, 75 continuous press ups, sub 20 minute 5K

Should be down in D&G in a couple of weeks, so hopefully one of these goals will be achieved soon

Galloway is one of my favourite areas.Spent a lot of time down there years ago in the 70`s and 80`s just after the original wee paperback guide book came out.Alligator Crawl at Meikle Ross was probably my favourite route.Stuff Glencoe..!
Will be down there tomorrow hillwalking :)
