A good week

Saturday night pretty much the whole of the stoke awesome walls/v12 contingent hit up ravens tor for a bit of a camp out :) We climbed from 8ish 'till about half 10/11ish which is a pretty good effort considering most of us forgot lamps and head torches!

I managed to bash out the weedkiller traverse, out of my tree and the "undercut crimp jug" problem which was cool. I had tried the traverse before after a rubicon session and got fully powered out... went 2nd go this time. Out of my tree is a funky, albeit rather painful 7b that took about 4 goes, pretty psyched to get on the route extension. The undercut crimp jug problem is very cool, pretty chuffed.... keen to try the sloper variation next time which goes at a slightly stiffer 7c. I also managed all the bens roof moves which was cool as it was my first time on it, seems like a goer. Psyched.

A big up to eddie for doing the weedkiller having snatched defeat from the jaws of victory on one of his first attempts!


Sunday night just i was cashing up and preparing for a plastic session dave popped up on facebook suggesting ramshaw. winner. We just shot down for an hour or so, did a few easy things, tried daves project (which is sick) and did tierdrop (which is amazing and very high).

Monday i bought my first car :)
