Mikey's Climbing Blog: January 2012
http://mikeygoldthorp.blogspot.com/2012_01_01_archive.html
Climbing chat and that. Tuesday, 24 January 2012. There and back again. Her Majesty, Cova del Diablo. More than a few people have told me that it was my kinda place. And as sure as shit floats to the top, I was in love! It was my utopia, the promised land to which my long-awaited pilgrimage was destined. The deep water soloing there is off the awesome-scale! Me on the crux dyno of Ejector seat. Flashing ejector seat, courtesy of some superb German beta. The laidback lifestyle of Cala Barquez.

Mikey's Climbing Blog: Its been a while!
http://mikeygoldthorp.blogspot.com/2011/06/its-been-while.html
Climbing chat and that. Tuesday, 28 June 2011. Its been a while! For the last 10 weeks I've not really had anything of interest to report; slow and steady healing with intermittent bursts of training, a handful of wild nights out and an ongoing battle against the evil that is boredom! But its been a valuable experience in many ways. The first few steps I walked brought such a feeling of liberation comparable to natural highs like the elation of finishing your last exam or the first time you have sex!

Blogging on Life and Climbing. Thursday, 14 June 2012. Your own desert island paradise. It's closer than you realise. And the name of your new favourite place? A group of 11 fun-loving trad crushers loosely based around having attended Bangor University (with a couple of exceptions) were assembled by Jimmy Marjot, and after various people saying yes then no, and some organisational fuck-ups, we all finally merged in Oban, Scotland on May the 26th. As we turned towards our landing spot, I could hardly bel...

Mikey's Climbing Blog: April 2011
http://mikeygoldthorp.blogspot.com/2011_04_01_archive.html
Climbing chat and that. Monday, 11 April 2011. Oh boy oh boy, the last few days have been a real rollercoaster; usually my favorite theme park ride, but these emotionally based ones don't give quite the same kind of thrill do they! Part of the reason I'm writing this post is a personal process to externalize some stuff and wallow in some misery, but I imagine it might also be an interesting read for others. I'm at my dads to earn some spending money for The Trip (which I was quite looking forward to btw)...

Climbing chat and that. Thursday, 7 March 2013. Not a bad bloody life! Crafnant valley and the classic Wonderwall bloc. Here's a not-uncommon conversation that I've been having with people recently -. Hey Mike, hows your climbing going? Yeahhh *shrug* not too bad. been doing a lot of indoor gumpf through working at the climbing wall, not been climbing outside enough, time/weather/transport/other commitments, whatever, don't really know what kinda shape I'm in" - etc. etc. We then headed back to one of Ki...

Blogging on Life and Climbing. Monday, 16 May 2011. Failure. and Inspiration. 8220;Remember, there are no mistakes, only lessons. Love yourself, trust your choices, and everything is possible.” - Cherie-Carter Scotts. Ok so here is a bit of an abstract blog that can be applied to all aspects of life I guess, but for me is mainly climbing focussed. Http:/ www.ukclimbing.com/logbook/showlog.html? I have decided that every time I go sport climbing I will try something of F7a or above, as this will be the wa...

Blogging on Life and Climbing. Thursday, 29 September 2011. Ups, Downs and Silver-Linings. So I am now back in Bangor, in a new house, with 2 different housemates, and apparently 300 hours of work to do for just one module. I have been out climbing a bit though. Before Florence upped and left us for the bright lights of Chamonix, we avoided the hurricane-force winds and did a bit of evening slate climbing; I led Plastic Soldier, a brilliant, long 6a with plastic soldiers hidden a long the way. First off ...

Blogging on Life and Climbing. Thursday, 15 March 2012. Airtime, the antithesis of climbing, yet without the fall, looming or experienced, it would be a boring 2-dimensional exercise whereby half the fun would be taken away. If you aren't risking falling off then you aren't trying hard enough, but imagine if there was never the risk of falling? Falling is a big part of climbing, and I like it that way. What the F* *! They obliged, and whilst I waited, I realised I had stopped swinging. Usually, whils...

Blogging on Life and Climbing. Wednesday, 22 February 2012. Gotta keep on, keeping on. If you feel like this too, then I recommend you watch this video:. Http:/ www.ted.com/talks/lang/en/srikumar rao plug into your hard wired happiness.html. Happiness is the key, or else what is the point? Anyway, back to climbing. As I said the weather has been real bad, but I have been trying to get out, honest! Chris on the send on the un-named V6. The second trip, we arrived to find the rock wet! Tryfan, and the Carn...
