Toys for the Boys first redpoint
T: Final day... Decide that my desire to do Batman is my undoing, I can piss the moves, I have done the crux and it's all in the mind now. Decide to mentally let it go! It's not going anywhere. Get on a 6c+ to warm up and piss it! Feeling good! Get on Batman just to familiarise myself with the moves ... 1st go: foot pop = Foot goes back on then do 2 more moves before Lob! Interesting! 2nd go: put steep route boot on left foot to see if that helps, drop move into undercut low down due to not concentrating, pull back on and piss it! Even more interesting! 3rd (and final) go: recite mantra "I'm Jerry Moffat" a few times, laugh my way through the start, almost drop tricky clip, hang in there, piss crux move - foot stays put (big up the Teams - and Nik shouting "keep yer foot on" ), shake on good hold, throw for massive sidepull - latch it (just!) and float up the rest of the route on a wave of euphoria! YYFY! F: Swim and fly back to UKS: Nowt.
It's especially sweet to pull off the final redpoint go on the last day of a trip

Kinda put all me eggs in the one basket and this time it paid off... Could have been so different (i.e. another Arco) :D

Couldn't have done it without you Berie's putting together our babysitting bill right now, say we split it :D
