Four days after returning from Austria I went off to Wales on a climbing trip with the UCC mountaineering club. We planned to stay in Wales for 4 days and climb. I got roped into n additional 4 days with a couple of friends. We eventually got chased out of Wales by the weather and went up to the gritstone. We ended up being on the trip for 8 days, and had a blast. I definitely want to go back to the gritstone at some point when I am climbing stronger. Charging my way through final exams now, stoked to get back to the states. Hope you enjoy the photos.

Try two, no go again
