The final day arrived and a festival had been organised by the Red Bull people to take place at Cala Barques.

It was a fine day, with good conditions, routes, friends and music. I
tried a line called Snatch which is an awesome short 8b up a smooth
concave wall on one and two finger pockets. The moves were awesome and
felt highly improbable. On my flash attempt, I made it to 4 moves from
the top and on my next try I got two moves further. Close but no cigar.
My hands were feeling pretty sore by this point, salt water and rough
rock certainly makes your skin drop off. I decided to call it a day and
hopefully recover allow my skin to recover a little before beginning the
second leg of my journey.
Again, despite not completing the route, I felt really content. This is
unusual for me as normally I cannot sleep until a project is in the bag
but with psicobloc things seem to be different.

, I think the real joy of this style of climbing is feeling
completely free from the normal constraints that climbing can put on
you. This very obviously applies to the issues of rope and gear but why
stop there. There is no need to be restrained by existing routes, or
lines in a guide book, climb where you want and how you want, do
whatever feels the most fun at any particular point in time.
The sun set slowly over the horizon and it was time to party. The Red
Bull crew are not known for doing things by halves and tonight was no
different. It may have been the atmosphere, or it may have been the
never ending supply of vodka redbulls, but the first time I looked at
the time it was 4.15am.
We moved to another venue which was surprisingly good for a small little
town, good tuned mixed well, what more can you ask for. I finally
bailed back to the boat at around 6am for a steady 2 hours sleep and
woke fresh as a daisy, well maybe not quite to pack my bags. Just before
leaving, I got chance to see the photos from the week, courtesy of
Damiano Levati (www.northface-shop.org) and they were amazing. I was
blown away by some of the images and found myself feeling sad that it
had all come to an end. I said my good byes to friends old and new and
headed for the airport. The week has been nothing but a pleasure and has
introduced me to the wonders of psicobloc which I can see playing a big
part in my future climbing.

,And the future is now, because for the net week I will be in the Costa Blanca at the Orange House DWS fest.
