I managed to do The Lushering (7a) from the proper sit start (have previously done from stand and mistakenly thought I'd ticked it) and Mike's Arete (7a) in a handful of goes.
3 x new (to me) outdoor 7as by end of 2019
Gave a pep talk to Shark on the way out - think he'll probably do it now that I've bestowed my wisdom upon him.
Fucking frustrating not to get the progress this season. I’m light, fingers are stronger than ever, climbing fast and slickly on the route. Will try from the ground on weds but if I don’t get the through move then it makes sense to take at least a short break from it and do some other stuff including train for RRG
