What a fantastic venue the Imst wall is, perhaps a bit
daunting the first time you see it.
What can I say about my performance at the European Youth
Championship….I just messed up on the two qualifiers. I do not know if
competing with 28 other countries, and 65 competitors, or the fantastic venue
in got to me. I just made some silly mistakes, and climbing at that level if
you make a mistake you fall. On the
second route I had more or less made it through the slab section, so I must be
improving; slabs are not my favourite.
As well as feeling annoyed with myself I feel really bad about letting all
those lovely people down who have just invested in me. Sorry guys.
Before the comp in Imst time was spent sightseeing and keeping
cool in the pool. After the qualifiers some of the GB and Irish team played
‘beach volleyball’, where I joined the Irish team to balance numbers – my Irish
granddad would have been proud of me. Obviously being a competitive bunch the
result was important. I am pleased to say the Anglo-Irish team were the
victors.
