So I've finally began my travels! First stop: Blue Mountains, Australia!
 |
Me and Wiz have been in the Blue Mountains for nearly 3 weeks now and it is AMAZING! The climbing is unbelievably good and we are meeting so many awesome people!
I arrived in the Blue Mountains with no expectations! Having only really climbed in New Zealand, I knew that it would probably take me awhile to get used to the style of the Bluies and set out to just climb as much as possible, on anything that looked fun. And so our trip began.
We have set up our little home in the bush, are living as cheap as possible, and out climbing nearly everyday! What a life!

I have just been climbing many of the classic Blue Mountain climbs, getting my endurance and strength back after my break over the summer. I have managed to get used to the style of climbing fairly quickly, and on my first day climbing, I realised that in order to do many of the climbs, I would have to teach myself to jump and Dyno, and fast!! Having never really had the confidence to jump while climbing, this was a big mental challenge at first, but now its my favourite way to climb.
So far, the highlights of the climbs I have done so far include Trix Roughly (26), Madge Macdonald (25), Rubber Lover (25), Padington (25), as well as many other really fun climbs!
I have some more 26s and 27s lined up which I have been trying which I am sure will go very soon!
Ive been amazed by how much climbing there is here, and the amount of people I see out climbing everyday! There are so many people climbing hard and they come from everywhere!! Its been really cool being out climbing with all the "Big Guns" of the Blue Mountains climbing scene! Seeing both guys and girls crushing everything is sight has made me super psyched to do the same and im learning so much just from watching and talking with everyone!
So anyway, there is just a quick update on what I have been up to so far! We havent got many pictures of us climbing so far, but they will come!! Here is just a few quick pics of our trip so far! :)
Keep looking out for more updates and blogs from both me and Wiz!
