Still Raining...


To avoid all the rain we've been having, Tigger and Eeyore have been spending lots of time training on their purpose built climbing wall, making sure they are fit for the up coming southern hemsiphere climbing season. Just over a month to go!




Summer Alps Trip

In July Tigger and Eeyore hitched a ride to Chamonix for a spot of summer alpinism. Conditions weren't great but tigger managed to get a place in a comfortable rusksac up 'Le Buet' and both enjoyed a few days climbing near Dijon, were to avoid the rain, they honed their roof climbing technique.

Some Past Adventures

Tigger and Eeyore are already established world travellers. Below are some of the highlights of their past adventures.
Tigger soloing a 7b on the famous Moon Hill arch in Yangsho, China. Its not graded for a tigger ascent though so would probably only get B3 (B is for bouncing).


Tigger soloing leachless (tooless as well!) in Rjukan, Norway. He's one hardcore tigger!
