I was following a twitter conversation today between @philsheard and @IanMulvany and discovered there is a huge boulder in Shoreditch Park. The big old lump of granite was part of a regeneration scheme of Shoreditch and created by artist/climber John Franklin. A second boulder exists on Mabely Green.

It’s bloody huge and looks like a whole lot of bouldering fun. It’s been fully conquered and there is a write up of routes on the UKC website.

Ian has a flickr set including the boulders’ installation and some route tips. I hope to get my ass down there soon for some bouldering action.

knot for climbing tshirt labels

It’s been about 2 years in the making, from a car conversation on the way to Bowles, to pages and pages of ideas, to getting our designs printed. We are nearly there.

This week climber guy is dropping off two of the printed tshirts to have our labels sewn in and ready for sale. We are coming close to topping out. Hooray!
