So once again it’s been a while since I last posted, my priorities have been more to climbing every day than hunting out internet to blog about it… I’m sure you all understand ; )


After a highly successful trip to Gottardo and temperatures slowly dropping we headed to arguably the most famous bouldering area in Switzerland, Magic Wood. Keen to test myself on some well known problems we set about searching in the maze of a forest, hiking up and down, in and out, giving my knees a battering with just with the walking around. After a day of scouting out some of the problems I had seen or heard about we bumped into a friendly German guy called Mathew, who was just like us hunting around for things to try and eagerly looking for more pads and spotters to help with his project ‘Foxy Lady’. We kindly obliged and headed there with high hopes for the classic line. An hour or so down the line with Mathew happily giving me the beta I sent it with my last ounce of energy (clearly visible in the video as once I’d hit the jug and headed for the last few metres to top out I was so pumped out even the largest of holds seemed a problem!).
