Don’t worry, I’m not brave enough to ditch the ropes. The title refers to the next part of the US trip. 

This weekend I bid a fond farewell to Keith & Manu, and venture forth on my own. Solo, and free to go where I choose. 

Which, in the first instance will be New Orleans then Houston… Not exactly well known climbing hotspots! I’m taking a break from climbing for a week or so to catch up with some friends from back home. I guess I might post about the trip, but the only climbing I’ll get in will be indoors, if at all. 

I’ve no fixed plans afterwards, but if you see a Scottish guy hanging about a camp site begging for a belay, please give generously!
