couple of quickies

After spending the weekend in a suit and meeting the lady-friends extened family, I was desperate to go loose myself in a good route, so made a flying visit to craig arthur with ed and finnally got round to climbing digitron. It is a brilliant route at its grade and one I can see myself doing again, just what the dr ordered.

Also here is the film ed took of my climbing willow farm (previous post)

mini grit-trip


Spent the weekend at the roaches (one of my favourite crags) and got loads done.
Highlight would have to be bouldering the staffordshire flyer (v4) and the cube (v5) and soloing willow farm (E4 6a).
Also did the drowning pool from a stand start, psyced to go back and work the sit-start, and watched tom have a quick go at art nouveau, but even with three pads the landing looked horrible. After a quick guestimation I think you would need about fifteen pads to make it okay (so we may try and sort this out).
Tom also made a speedy ascent of wings of unreason (E4 6a) wich i filmed, check it out.
