Finally

I have finally returned to the quarry, and armed with my new micro nuts managed to find a somewhat sketchy three extra placements, (although could not manage to fiddle in the wc rock 1 I had place last time).
So here is the definitive list of the gear on the route:
1st piece is zero G no.1 nut
2nd is the zero G no.3 nut
3rd BD no.2 micro stopper
4th BD no.1 micro stopper
5th Bd no.3 micro stopper
6th zero G no. 2 nut

the limited and kinda small gear

another new line

I also managed to flash the moves of another line slightly to the left, which seems to yield harder climbing and even less gear!
And for the last hour or so of my session I swung the rope over to the smaller slab, and was completely shut down by the technical moves that it offered. After inspection there appeared to be possibly four good lines up the face and no natural protection so I am considering the possibility of bolting it up.

So thats you all up to date, and I sign off pretty confident that the next good day we get I will be on the lead.

In the mean time

I till haven't been back to the quarry, but in the mean time i have not been idle.
(In the style of the fast show guy):
The last couple of weeks I have mostly been bouldering.

Bits and bobs on the grit, a host of new V0's and V1's at the secret bouldering area behind the quarry (now christened Ditchville) , a trip to the works in Sheffield, and practicing in the trees at the bottom of my garden.
Unfortunately my camera is out of action at the moment but here is a couple of vids from last summer etc.
Enjoy.

Because I gots nothing else to report

Woop I am now the proud owner of a set of BD micro stoppers.

Now as soon as the weather dries up and the daylight comes I can get on my route!
