The Swiss bouldering trip

Ok, so you'd think with a week in the bouldering heaven of Magic Wood, Cresciano and Chironico that the team would have come back with a comprehensive list of problems ticked off in their newly acquired guidebooks. The truth was a little different. Most of the week comprised of who could SEND the 7a+ sandwich problem. The problem being who could open their mouth wide enough to fit the damm thing in. (The muscle cramp in my jaw being testimony to this!)

However some climbing was done and here's a collection of the photos.

Nearing the last moves of 7a+ 

Topping out on 7b at Magic Wood 

This seemed easier the other night after a few beers,complete darkness and a little bit of rain 

Oh Dear! 

Dino's dont Dyno (and its hard to take a photo when your subject is moving and its very dark)....7b+ 

7a at Magic Wood 

No Rob, it doesn't matter how hard you look there is still no hold there

Hold the crimp! The Globe 7b 

Just the crux move to do above a hideous landing...what you worrying about. 7b+ Cresciano 

7a at Chironico 

The hardest problem at Magic Wood. "Tricky" , 6C 

Carlo Il magnifico 7a+.....why is there bolts on this boulder problem? Someone tell me I dont have to go to the top 

After 5 beers and 4 shots of Grappa this seemed like a good idea 

Cool 7a at the beach block in Magic Wood 

Hang in there Danny! Font 7b+ at Cresciano 

Hanging out on "U-Boat" , 6c
