He is one of the UK's most successful competition climbers – six times British Champion.Describing his recent ascent of L'Espolon De L'Ocaive Gaz said:” …I felt relaxed and warmed up well. I fired up the 8b which fell easily, any pump from this would make it impossible to climb the upper technical arete. The top half went well with only a few jitters including a bit of freestyling around the last bolt when I caught a hold wrong. Thankfully my Kalymnos fitness had come in useful as I managed to recover on all the rests no matter how poor they were. The belay arrived with a scream and I could finally get all my clips back.”More info on the Beta Climbing BlogGaz Parry is sponsored byThe North Face ,DMM ,Five Ten and Beta Climbing Designs.Follow Gaz through his coaching and holidays website: www.epic-adventures.eu Diesen Artikel inkl.
