Checked out the clifftop boulders and rowtor rocks with byron and gav on saturday, we all loved the crags and did a good range of problems, kudos to the b-man and g-man for doing blood falls (7b) pretty quick.
On the sunday i checked out a crag in cwm idwal, ogwen, with tommy. Weather was gorgeous but we were climbing in the bitter shade of the hills. We did a lot of problems up to 7a+ish with tom smashing the punk... a sweet, dynamic 7c up in't hills!

Monday i met up with dom and eddy at the roaches, dom had already done piece of mind (e6 6b) at about half 8 that morning! I got there to find them attempting barriers in time (e6 6b) and got a few snaps.

Dom and i then headed east to rowtor and gardoms. I did the yogurt hypnotist in a smattering of attempts, first hard-ish thing since my massive lay off, psyched. Dom proved his grit prowess by doing this, blood falls and the truly desperate bus stop mantel (7a+). We then shot to gardoms so i could try suavito, an amazing arete that goes at 7b+ or old skool e5. I should have done it, 4 split tips being my excuse. Keen to return!

Yesterday i was all prepped for a plastic session at stockport but byrons pantymyn contact informed us all was dry so we shot there for an evening session. It was banging, perfect temps and a chilled atmosphere. We repeated stuff up to 7b, byron was looking good on the be ruthless sitter (7c+) and i got very close to repeating the stand up (7c)
Good times!
