my girl went back to australia for a couple of months so i'm back to soloing and bouldering for the first time in nearly 12 months.

first stint lead soloing on wednesday evening scared me silly but up to 6a/b it seems to go ok provided the holds are positive.

a couple of days later i bouldered up behind branson at the same location as "danse of the ballrogs". first lot of this style of bouldering in a long while and i surprised myself by sending stuff i couldn't this time last year...how the hell that happened i've no idea.

today i put in 6 pitches of soloing and then rigged the shunt to toprope the proj. entry boulder problem has been solved via a slightly more technical bit of climbing that makes it a bit pumpier overall but with higher ratio of success for that section so looks like it's time to start falling my way up it on lead.
