Late entry from me - sorry.
Busy week this week.... but for last...
M:
Tu: Woodwell and Trowbarrow. Time to see how I was on projects there. In short - shit.
Flailed on Pit problem - then it started to rain.... went to Woodwell, flailed on Twisted until it started to rain there. Went home....

Thu: Bit of an epic driving day - Hull > Horncastle (30 miles EAST of Lincoln..) > Sheffield > Manchester. Stopped at Decathlog and finally finally got some bouldering trousers! Stopped at BBG West on the way back to Manc - fired up for some West Side Story attemptage.. very light rain - and after about 4-5 serious attempts started to roll the skin on my LH index tip and decided to give up... home..
Fr: Andy Popp tempted me out to try his new highball project at Harmers - and I half heartedly went along. I wanted to catch up with Andy but wasn't really in a crimpy wall mood.. Anyway, I managed to do two V4's to the right of the problem Andy was working - and they felt good... maybe I had my crimp on after all.. So started working the problem with Andy - and found a different way of doing the first move (which worked for my height) that is great - super balancy - then got shut down further up. Andy did the problem \o/ write up here:
http://ukbouldering.com/board/index.php/topic,24798.0.html Sa: Fingers were lacking skin - but I was psyched by getting close to Andys problem on Fri - so went back... made progress but bottled it on the final hardish move (rocking up). Probably be happier with a spotter etc... as below (same vid on the pages linked above). I split my left index tip on this attempt - so decided to call it a day at that point - disappointing - I'm left wondering what would have happened if I'd just tried a bit harder on that rock over....
