I think that is a 2nd ascent - we didn't get past the swing.

Breck Road was almost completely dry today. I repeated Swing of Fire (2nd asc??), absolutely fantastic problem, one of the best i've done on the ormes, nice one Pete. It took me ages before i could hold the swing, also figured out a way of doing the last move (still tricky!) without campussing.

For any Swing of Fire aspirants (of which there should be many) myself and ding dong cleaned up a crimp in the black streak which makes the last move easier. This is good news cos it was a hard move before. No change in grade.

Don't stand in front of me when I have a fully loaded paintball gun then.  Even if you are in my "team".

I was down here yesterday, flapping around, LH wall seemed fairly dry, with some bits of seepage on the main roof, pillar finish etc on split infinity were dry too, with seepage on the right. Sorry if this seems a bit vague, it was my first visit!

If anyone goes today let me know what is was like as I might go down tomorrow afternoon.  I don't know whether all rain blowing in off the sea will have soaked it but there have been prolonged sunny dry spells.

Yeah sure if its in reasonable nick i'll head down tomorrow afternoon.  I'm at the uni so i'll probably finish about 2 as well and then ride back to Wavertree to get my car and head off.  Let me know where you want to meet if you want to catch a ride.John.
