After a night of boozing, too much brioche and a bivvy at morecambe bay i wasn't feeling my fittest in the morning.... after the use of a local campsites facilities and a strong coffee we were feeling a lightly more sprightly, the weather was also perfect so we shot straight to trowbarrow.
We went to red wall first to warm up and get stuck in, i did a few cool problems there, gav and nick had a good bash at shallow grave and nick polished off "nicks problem" quickly which was very fitting! I got utterly spanked by "ying yang" which seems very stiff for its 7b grade!
Nick on Nicks Problem 6a
The shelter stone was up next... this boulder is wicked! Nick and I did funk phenomena, gav getting very close. I then got stuck into the classic problems... the pit problem went pretty quickly once the beta was sussed, really cool. I then did the 7c that blasts straight to the lip from the low crack (the buccaneer?), this is also very cool and pretty tension-y. Vitruvian man was up next... my 2nd go saw me to the final jug only to lose tension and kick nick in the face! This went down a few goes later, class problem. Finished off with on-sighting the groove and the slopes traverse, very un-stylishly!
The Buccaneer 7c
Very psyched to get back here as well as woodwell as i've heard its very good..... the pit problem sitter, wheelebarrow, jazz phenomena and maybe iron man will be given a blast next time.
South lakes, two thumbs up.
