Furthermore, I'm grateful for the opportunity to introduce myself through your posts. All you've written has left me speechless. For an instance, I've bookmarked this for future reference because it's still really useful, even after many years.<br /><a href="https://climberharish.blogspot.com" rel="nofollow">Rock Climbing in Delhi</a><br /><a href="https://climberharish.blogspot.com" rel="nofollow">Rock Climbing Competition Video</a><br /><a href="https://climberharish.blogspot.com" rel="nofollow">ClimberHarish</a><br /><a href="https://climberharish.blogspot.com" rel="nofollow">Climbing in Delhi</a><br />jara suniyehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14214878034251791826noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8777718.post-27694457716982345182021-02-11T11:54:41.038-05:002021-02-11T11:54:41.038-05:00This Was Really Great to Saw Your This BLog That&#...This Was Really Great to Saw Your This BLog That's Is Really SO Great <a href="https://www.youtube.com/c/ClimberHarish" rel="nofollow">Rock Climbing in Delhi</a> | <a href="https://climberharish.blogspot.com" rel="nofollow">ClimberHarish</a>climberharishhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16401535831502061804noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8777718.post-33037038537257927982020-10-27T10:33:32.075-05:002020-10-27T10:33:32.075-05:00P.S If anyone has links to any pictures of Mat the...P.S If anyone has links to any pictures of Mat they would be lovely to see!

He really did have a knack for people. I was an extremely unpredictable and emotionally damaged child who often lashed out verbally and violently at staff members and poor Matt sometimes found himself on the end of one of my outbursts, requiring him to frequently restrain me for my own safety and others. He always believed in me, even during these episodes he never lost faith in me or thought badly of me... Matt Goodyear was the first person to ever show me the ropes, it was because of Matt that I took that first climb and abseil in some Quarry whose location escapes my 28 year old memory. I haven't climbed since my teenage years but I may overcome my fear and take a climb in memory of Matt one day! I'm assuming these blog events occurred after he left Harmeny School around 2003/4? I didn't find out about his death until many years after it happened, but I shed a few tears I must say, such was his impression on me. I just wished I could have thanked him to his face for the unfaltering patience, love and perseverance he showed to the damaged nine year old child that I was. RIP Mat! <br /><br />~Marc Archibald~Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16466045682315961095noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8777718.post-21401764955284773982013-10-09T04:09:59.157-05:002013-10-09T04:09:59.157-05:00This comment has been removed by a blog administrator.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8777718.post-12679584040111727042013-03-14T05:44:10.075-05:002013-03-14T05:44:10.075-05:00Hey Guys, My partner is a very good rock climber, ...Hey Guys, My partner is a very good rock climber, so I have to do a lot of belaying. I was hurting my neck while belaying for long hours. So I bought Mike's Belay Glasses from http://www.belayglass.com/ I wear these glasses and look forward to gaze upward saving on neck strain. They allow me to concentrate their attention to the task at hand, especially on long, protracted climb sessions. These glasses are cheap, roughly 1/4th the cost of the other belay glasses in the market. Check it out.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04423969187540928706noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8777718.post-29930496905552429462013-01-23T11:26:44.062-05:002013-01-23T11:26:44.062-05:00Hi Manny,

But I also found that there are good feet simply because it's limestone (at least in El Chorro). It can be quite sharp a bit at times, too.GM Burnshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11387896149103128379noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8777718.post-3713982269819490582013-01-23T10:27:30.444-05:002013-01-23T10:27:30.444-05:00Excellent report, now I have to visit Malaga.

It's true that Brazil has some serious transport and logistics limitations, and climbing is still a developing sport here. Though that said, there is an incredible vibe, plenty of unspoiled places, great people and an authenticity to the scene which still exists precisely because things aren't yet "easy".<br />Come to Belo Horizonte in Minas Gerais. 70 different climbing spots within an hour or two of the city, from limestone crags to great boulders, a big community where its easy to find lifts and the prettiest women in Brazil! <br />Drop me a line if you want to visit.Nick Smarthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14877131331830493793noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8777718.post-21474245548427883922012-01-13T00:58:29.917-05:002012-01-13T00:58:29.917-05:00Cool post!
