Went climbing at Maeshafn crag last night. For those of you who're observant, you'll have noticed that's where I live. It took me 2 mins to drive there, which as Lee pointed out was 40 times less than it used to take me to get to my old haunt of Harrisons Rocks while living down south. I had a great few quick climbs- flashing an English 5c and 6a, making a great go of a 6b too. (flashing means climbing something 1st go without any prior experience of the route) I did the 6b moves in the end (4th attempt), but I'll have to go back and climb the whole route in one go soon.... I'm so lucky to have all this great climbing on my doorstep. Bought some new rock shoes today; absolute bargain, they look pretty too....
Climbing shoes are amazingly tight to enable the use of tiny ledges (the size of a 5p, or half a Loon), this is I think apparent when you see the shoe next to my Birk sandle (and no, they are not very comfortable!):
On the 6b move I used a foot-hold that was about 4mm by 20mm- at 1st glance it seems impossible whilst you're up there....

Nothing to do with your hike or hiking shoes (they are very lovely, but we don't get much use for them in this part of the Commonwealth), but here is a link to show you just what Ginch Gonch is:

Gosh!
Those wedgie boys were so..... chunky.
Now I understand your enthusiasm. I think I might need some fake tan to maximise their effect though. And maybe I'd need to shave my legs too?
Thank you Lance.
Possibly the funkiest underwear I've set eyes on since I went to Mardi Gras in Manchester ( I saw the guys all checking their trousers into the club cloakroom, but where did they keep their ticket?)
Oh my!
I'm not sure my hetero sensibilities can cope with the assault of Ginch Gonch, cock rings, and "party supplies"- (actually they all sound so fabulous!) You know, I think the girlies might even appreciate their men employing such accessories.
Pushes the boys forward eh......
