Boulder comps, Bonfires, and Burgers

On bonfire night, the protests in and around St Paul's Cathedral seem more tolerable than the alternative of 1605.

The Ratho bouldering scene used the annual commemoration of their failure as an excuse for an early winter bouldering comp.

Can you see it in his eye, that Gaz is pleased with his handiwork? He sets some cool boulder problems - Most of them spat me off today, but I'm keen to get back on them and pick them off one by one over the coming weeks. And the bonfire was ace. And the burgers hit the spot!

On the annual commemoration of guy faulks' failure, I'm reminded that success isn't everything.
