I can't believe it was 13 in the van this morning. Everyone slept well. Looking forward to climbing today. A few practice lead routes to get my confidence up now.

Stu absultuly nailed the work climb and consequently did extremely well. Not quite getting in the master but regardless we had a good dinner with Wolfgang and Paul and then headed up to meet with Ben and the DMM gang. Arriving pretty late we headed over in the morning. Met some more amazing climbers and tagged along to give Ray Wood the photographer a hand to see if stu could get him into some interesting places in the trees. A small river crossing up to knee ...

What a awesome group of people. So interesting and talented at climbing. Just about managed the slight detour here on the way to the German comp and well worth it. Looking forward to coming back after. Only just had time for dinner and a chat before having to leave. Was good to see Ben, he's getting to be one of those people we see in random places.
