M - 10km walk. Swam 0.5km in the murk.
T - Fingerboard pickups, left only, all grips, to 36kg. Right elbow rehab. pick-ups to 22kg. Hip flexibility.
W - Last minute change of plan due to flood warning in N Wales. The Environmental Agent suggested Cornwall. Drove down through biblical rain. Hip flexibility.
T - Chair Ladder, with the Environmental Agent. Hiked up Terrier’s Tooth (not banned but a bit birdy so missed the full summit experience) and the excellent South Face Direct.
F - Bosigran, with the Environmental Agent. Swapped leads on Ding and the good but pokey Visions of Johanna on the main cliff. Apparently I've done this before but have precisely zero recollection.
S - Checked out the Gallipoli Wall (Bosigran Ridge area) but this was damp so went back to the main cliff at which point it started raining properly. Took a rest day and did some hip stretches.
S - A damp Carn Barra. Led Axis and Exodus between showers. The Environmental Agent tried the “much attempted” Dialectic but E1s on damp and polished granite was a bit too much for her and I wasn't tempted either.
Great to get out of London for a few days even if the weather in Cornwall hasn't turned out to be much better than other parts of the UK: glorious sun one moment, pissing with rain 45 minutes later. The hedgerows are looking glorious with May flowers. (Very) easy trad. has proved to be exactly what the elbow needed, it’s been good all week. Now time to ramp things back up gradually.
Family get-together on Exmoor for the rest of this week so unlikely to be doing much climbing.
