In 2019 I decided to start keeping a record of all the sport routes I had been on, as long as I got to the top and touched the chains, not only clean attempts. I have done this in a notebook and also made a note of any fingerboard sessions or other forms of climbing. This is because I like my @ukclimbing logbook clean with only ascents and tries if I haven't cleaned them up (so geeky I know). I also note my top clean routes and how many times I have tapped the chains for each month.
Having 2019 and 2020 beside each other really shows the difference between the years. Nearly 220 fewer chains tapped this year and nearly half as many new routes ticked. This is partly because of the poor weather at the start of the year but mainly the lack of trips meant that most of my climbing was on the island which I have climbed a lot of already, 42% according to UKC. Not having the time on the rock and having fewer easily accessible harder routes has seen my harder climbs tail off.

I realise how lucky I have been to get out and climb as much as I have in a year which has been dreadful for so many! I'm thankful for all my mates and my wife for keeping me active and entertained. Let's hope in 2021, at some point, we can meet up at crag in Spain with a ton of mates and have a week of ticking new routes! For now, stay safe and stick to the rules!

Only a couple of days left until 2020 is over! Who's had some good ticks year? Some positives from a terrible year?

Merry Christmas and a happy new year!

It's been quite the year with more climbing than expected and a couple of ticks. Also seen some strong boys making their way through the grades and ticking absolute classics! Work has been, well interesting to say the least! As well as ATS work (@atsroutesetting ), I have taken on some hours at @bouldershack which has been fantastic, when it's not locked down! Although even in lockdown the maintenance days were a blast! I have taken images I am proud of, one from @hollyperiperi shoot being printed in @teambmc Summit which was a nice surprise.
•
2020 has been pretty terrible for most people, that's for sure! But some good has happened, @emma_fizzle and I found a quick minute between lockdowns to get married and go on a little honeymoon to Scotland. The wedding wasn't as planned but it was made perfect by the only 2 other people who were allowed to come @tomarmot and @emmerson_photography
•
Thanks to everyone for making 2020 as good as it could be!
Now bring on 2021!!!

Pretty psyched to come home to find one of my images of @hollyperiperi on a double page in @teambmc Summit magazine. It's always a great feeling having something printed!

Pretty decent end to 2020!

Do you enjoy climbing 'easier' routes as much as pushing hard?
•
Some times a good day repeating 'easier' climbs can be as satisfying as ticking a harder route. As you can see by the second photo, @alexdale1989 thinks the same.
