remaining August goals - RP 7c, OS 7a, E3
2010 goals - 8a (now feels unlikely after first acquaintance with one), 7C, E4

T - Went back to try Sturgeon confident that it would go easily after Friday's effort but got nowhere near.  In retrospect I think I rushed into it without properly reacquainting myself with the routes intricasies (footwork & clips mostly) so ended up relearning on redpoint.  Showed myself up as a novice redpointer there I think.
W - went exploring the last few bits of Burbage North I'd not visited, had a fun couple of hours soloing 10 new (to me) routes.
T
F - couple of hours at Rubicon, retro flashed the roof but was shut down by usually doable problems and by a first crack at HFC.  Seems three months of route climbing is leaving me weak.
S - slow journey to Wales, um & arr a lot and eventually end up at Gogarth, couple of nice routes on South Stack
S - um & arr a lot and go to Dinas Mot because it's dry, couple of nice routes on the nose, slow drive home.

Shame about Sturgeon but five days out and a weekend away so musn't grumble.

Another quiet climbing week as busy otherwise. Couple of good sessions at the works, proper warm up and then working through the yellow circuit, even managing to tick some :-)

Congrats to Andy F - inspiration for us all.  :beer2:

I had a familiarisation week on Love amongst the butterflies and Grooved arete, and managed Bored of the lies too, an excellent bit of climbing. Also managed some chin-ups whilst at Becketts park playground with A, combined with a 2mile pushchair circuit.

Monday - nowt
Tuesday - nowt
Wednesday - went to London
Thursday - Depot. Managed to flash F7a+ circuit and do F7b+ circuit first go. Chuffed but ruined.
Friday - nowt
Saturday - beers.
Sunday - Dib Scar. 5 routes onsight from F5 - F6c+.


A reasonable week in terms of quality over quantity. I need to start trying to onsight harder things. When time is limited though, it's hard to persuade yourself to spend half that time failing.
