Seaside and TCA Bristol

I had a lovely weekend in Torquay with Pete and the 'in-laws'. Fresh sea air, some sunshine and good food.

We went to The Climbing Academy a new bouldering wall in Bristol for training. Lots of fun blocs, colour coded into circuits. We had a warm welcome - friendly staff and locals, and underfloor heating.

Absolutely no need for my leg warmers.

I tried several of the blocs on the hardest circuit. Quite a range of grades from easy flashes to long, hard thuggy ones that I couldn't quite get. Can't comment on grades as I'm naff at that. A good variety of styles. I decided to do several of the blocs with 'bunch of grape' style sloper holds and enjoyed swinging across the long roof.
