Really loved showing James around the place I first visited 11 years ago. It’s been a while since the last trip to Kalymnos but it really is as good as I remembered.
I am feeling pretty psyched with my mindset and my climbing at the moment. I’m absolutely loving time on rock and the psyche is higher than my body allows it!
I’m feeling particularly proud of myself for letting go of the outcome and focusing on the process, trying harder routes onsight, zero clip-stick and top rope faff, and trying really bloody hard on a few occasions. To be fair - I don’t see anything wrong with TR or clipstick when it feels right but I was psyched to not feel the need to utilise either on this trip.
And have to say - bolt clipping and b**r in the sun feels extra special after our Greenland trip!
Now off to Leonidio to photograph the climbing festival - really looking forward to it!
