But you got to interview John Gaskins!!
Also developed a cold.
The aim was to push up to a top 7a before Xmas/Dec 31st.
eatswood and battering myself on the traverse. Really enjoyed this. Its proper butch though. I should really have had a look at Shark's video to see how to do it rather than wasting precious strength trying to copy Seb's lank beta. I think I've got a project.

I'm in a similar situation. I've ticked my first 6c+, and have a couple of others on the go that i'm pretty confident I'll do then next time I get on them in decent conditions. Then I could look for a 7a in the same style and get on that, probably with reasonable chances. "The same style", however, in my case means techy, non-pumpy three bolt boulder problems. On proper routes where things like endurance and the possibility of actually falling off play a role, my level is more like barely 6b. I know full well I would do myself more good in the long run by projecting some 6c-ish things that don't suit me, than by looking for a 7a 3-bolt techy boulder problem.

Put an order in for a kneepad I'm keen to do the Reverse with a view to doing a Circuit. Tommy likes it there too. Can't go this weekend but keen for regular trips after.

Yeah the kneepad did seem to make a big difference.
