Weem

Will this weather ever let up!!!!!!!!! Seems not unless you drive doon tae Weem rock (just south of Pitlochry) I was there with a lad from 'Nightwatch' at the lodge. After climbing and trying tae train at the lodge, I thought that there was a good chance for some good ascents. But no, I was climbing like a donkey and as weak as ever. I did think that the route at Weem were harder than the grade giving....or thats my excuse.
However it was a good day on the rock with nice weather, and it didn't take long before we were driving back intae the rain that seems tae be just hanging over Aviemore!
I was going tae jump intea the wall at the lodge tae finsh myself off, but the minute I tried tae climbing on any problem, I couldn't be arsed.
Weem has really kicked my ass, and that can only be a good thing tae get motivated tae climb and train more. When it's not fun, is when it's time tae go hame! (excluding Scottish winter routes!)

Grand Scottish Weather!

So after my problem on the Link boulder, I was looking forward tae some nice cold crisp spring bouldering when I got back from london. Only a came back with shorts, t-shirt, and flip flops on, and drove right intae highland weather, crap highland.

I was planning on bringing you some of Aviemore's best kept and known secerts of bouldering. Some that are right in front of yer face and some aren't so much. But as for the weather it's slightly delayed.

So I'll keep sitting in cafe's and training indoor until my fingers or soul is broken! Waiting with baited breathe for the good weather tae shine through.

Happy training!
