It was about 5pm and we had to leave at 5:30pm in order to arrive at the lecture on time, so there wasn’t a whole lot of time north face jacket.

I reverted back into Mr Motivator mode and this time I knew James had the self belief to make it happen, so he set off. He was really having to try hard on the moves, but he kept going, fighting each move whilst getting higher and higher. He reached his previous high point but it was clear that he had something left in the tank and this time he hit the undercut then reached up to the jugs, pulling over to clip the chains much to his relief. This was probably the greatest ascent of the trip for many reasons. It was probably the hardest route of the trip so far, it was the second route of the day, it was initially dismissed by both the guys as being too much for them at this point of the day, but James really reached north face denali jackets very deep into the bottom of his hat and pulled it out. Just to show quite how much he’d used his mental toughness, I asked him to pull on again so I could record some of the moves and he genuinely couldn’t hang some of the positions. He’d given everything to get to the top and afterwards he had nothing left. It was inspirational stuff.

Gaz had to stop, his body shaking, his head hurting, and his 100% record broken. This was the first route he hadn’t done, and in my opinion was due to bad circumstances rather than his inability to do it. I think that with a full night’s sleep and a rest day he would have crushed this route despite having to use his back 2 fingers in the holds! The day was going well thus far and we were in the car at 5:35pm,north face jacket, making our way to the local climbing wall in Forcheim. As we drove to the wall we passed many of Frankenjura’s famous crags and thanks to the beautiful weather they were well populated. The same can’t be said for the climbing wall, which made for an intimate lecture. We may have amazing luck when it comes to conditions, but it’s not so amazing when it comes to organizing dates. The lecture coincided with one of Frankenjura’s biggest beer festivals, so taking that into account it was rather impressive that the audience was a cosy 10 people.
