S: Bowderstone. Happy to finish off Impropa Opera Sit ~7C+ after falling off the penultimate move on my first session. Had a play on Fat Lady 8A+ which is very good and didn't feel impossible. Don't think I've pulled onto an 8A+ before, so psyched that it felt doable.
Went to Gordale to try Supercool. First time climbing here; what a great place.
It's amazing isn't it? I've yet to climb there, but it's got a great showmanship to it. You see nothing on the approach path and then, BAM, there it is. I don't think anyone, climber or otherwise, can walk in there for the first time and not have their jaw drop even a little.
Yeah its got a real wow factor, more so than Malham (although that definitely has something similar). The right wall is a great bit of rock architecture.

or Rivendell versus Mordor! Gordale is somewhere really want to climb at more, but on some days I feel a little overwhelmed there... under the "Eye of Sauron"!
Coops, it seems to me you could be trying harder problems, more often, and really making them the focus of your day ... if you want to of course (and I say this as a compliment).
S: N Wales. Wavelength. Did King of Drunks stand 6C quickly before doing the sit 7A,

Did King of Drunks stand 6C quickly before doing the sit 7A, Did this last summer and found it very hard, having done the stand start years previously. Good effort polishing it off quickly, I think its probably 7a+. Fantastic problem.
My LOTR knowledge is inadequate!
S - fingerboard, started with max hangs but half way through with progress definitely stalled I opted to stop trying to push maximum weight and aim to make each hang full length at just sub-maximal.
