Extreme strolling

With the great British weather doing what it does best, our outdoor cranking has been limited this month. Instead the Beastfakers have been training for winter climbing, honing our nav skills and developing sick levels of stamina in the last bastion of Welsh wilderness - the Brecon Beacons. The weather has thrown some of the most savage conditions imaginable at us, but we pushed on through and emerged victorious (obviously!) There are some rad nu mixed and ice routes we've had our eyes on for a while now - after this structured training regimen, we're on line to tear them down this winter. Here's some photo's for your delectation...



Extreme mappage in a desolate landscape (30mins from civilisation!!!)


Pen y Fan conquered, altitude training phase complete


Testing out some top secret emergency shelter technology, shhh!



We even found time to send a couple of new problems in between the rain on this awesome new crag in the heart of Black Mountain

A snow dusted Cribyn from Neuadd Reservoir


And finally, Napoleon's homage to Weak Andy's wicked sponsorship shot on our Yosemite trip
