Hammering the Anvil

Tweedley on Hammertime

The Anvil has been taking a hammering of late, with Redpath, Tweedley, McGhee and myself all bagging some very nice projects. I managed to slap my way up Body Blow 8b+ on my 4th day. The first 4 moves are cellar style Font 7c+ to a jug, then an awesome 8a+ 45 degree wall to the top. This is the second half of what will be a mega route when my fingers are strong enough to handle double the length of climbing at the same difficulty standard. The full details for this crag are on the Scottish Climbs wiki now. It’s a lovely place, but don’t go there unless you are feeling fit unless you want to be humbled.

Right then, time to finally get myself online. I've got a 'proper' site in the pipeline but will use this page to post up adventures on cliffs and other fun places, as well as info on stuff folk might be interested to see - like crag topos, new climbs as well as slideshows and climbing coaching that I do from time to time.

Anyway I should intro myself. I'm David (aka Dave to the 'climbing' world). I live in Dumbarton, Scotland with Claire and my cat pusspuss. I spend most of my time doing some sort activity related to climbing, or preparing for it (i.e eating & sleeping). Tune in again if you want to read and see my journals from very steep places around Scotland and other pointy bits on the earth.
