The cave project has now been climbed. After doing the groove finish ed was keen to send the whole problem, but appeared to be straggling with the initial moves through the crack to the lip. Having that and the finish fairly dialed and now just needing to link the two, I saw no danger in telling him how I did the first moves. I then sat back and watched in awe as he fired the whole line first try with the new beta.
Oh well the left finish is still there to be done, also this frees up my efforts for the vx proj.
Hmm whilst writing this I've realised I need to stop this bouldering stuff and get on some routes!

right!
Right, so I know I've said this before, but I'm gonna try and keep the whole blog thing a more regular occurrence from now on.
To fill you in up to know....
Went to font beginning of April, got loads done. Nothing super hard as the sheer volume of quality problems mean we just ran round the forest like a dog with two dicks, trying to do everything, but quite a good selection of classic font 7a ticks.
The day after our return to England, myself and Ed went to grinshill to have a crack at the inspector moss proj, which we both sent. And also the arete to the left, which turned out to have been done before, but is a cool line nonetheless.( longer report here)

Since then, apart form a brief trip to north wales, to see the dmm factory and a bit of sports climbing in llanddudno, I have mostly been skulking around grinshill, trying two projects in particular, one a super technical wall on tiny holds, (unsure of the grade at the moment, but quite possibly in to the double figures) and the other a burly cave line with two possible finishes.
