Climbing and travel, and life in general for that matter, hmmm, yep, definitely harder in many respects since the bub popped out three years ago. Wouldn't change it for the world. I was expecting a lot worse -- in terms of impact on my climbing/lifeless. I have been surprised that some of the travel hasn't been nearly as hard as I thought it would be with a bub, she has broken the ice and created some really positive experiences, actually we've all had heaps of fun at times -- except for the time she got her toe caught under the revolving door in Barcelona, poor darling. These days Monique seems to be climbing better than ever, can't say the same thing for my own climbing unfortunately -- though I prefer to blame old age and ambivalence more so than Coco for that...

As well as old age, I think careers, mortgages and living a long way from climbing does more damage to your climbing. As much as I hate to admit it I do have a sneaking suspicion after all these years that there might be a little more to life than just climbing.
