Jo’s Sport Social: Andy Murray makes a racquet

Andy Murray has a novel way of testing his racquet strings ?

Ahh romance

Us humans are funny creatures sometimes ?

Recap of the last days in Flatanger. I had to give up on Exchange project (9b+?), as my left shoulder got really painful in one particular move. But no serious injury, it only hurt in that move. So I moved on into the second pitch of Thor's Hammer, which was bolted 6 years ago by @magmidt. I tried it once a few years back, but thought it was impossible. This time I found the sequence and made the FA (Thor's Hammer II 9a+ hard). 30m of climbing finishing just above the lip of the cave. 3 distinct boulderproblems with very tricky and reachy moves. Make a jumar start or think of it as two-pitch route. For the full link from the ground, I had no more time and endurance. That would be 50m TH 9a followed by 30m TH II 9a+. 80m at around 9b+. One more project to return for eventually. Pic by @bernardo_gimenez in Thor's Hammer II 9a+, the final crux on the lip of the cave. @climbflatanger @blackdiamond @montura_official @mytendon @lasportivagram

Just love this photo from one of my favourite photographers

This is shocking and a real issue in America.

Eep.

Yes, this will definitely be a recurring issue I’m sure.

Can you do this?

Usually climbing pics are all sunny right? Here’s the truth.

Sometimes you just have to weather the storm and keep on climbing ? #livewithoutlimits #eiger #northface @carlodenali ??
