F - worked a better sequence over the lower roof on Cry Of Despair but could find nothing better for the top crux, had two redpoints to that point but was zapped by then. Both attempts contained mistakes though so if I could cut those out then maybe I'll have enough for the two extra moves into the rest.
But I don't care, this is my last week before the summer and my last power club post until September.I'll be in St just, Cantal, Targassonne, Ariege and the Peak for the next 6 weeks. Have a good summer everyone .O, the joys of teaching...
Thurs - CD Cornice. Got Cry of Despair on 3rd redpoint attempt of the day! :-) First F7c so well chuffed..
YYFY I can climb again
What sequence are you using for the top crux? Rock up to sloper with right hand, flag left foot behind right. Bring LH into crimp then RH up to sidepull and then pull up into the groove?I'm sure you are doing (but just in case) - remember to visualise the moves before you set off to help eliminate any mistakes.
Tue - CD Cornice. Worked Cry of Despair again, made it through the crux only to fall off. Refined sequences and beta.
Great news Ian! you must be psyched out of you mind after such a long layoff

I'll investigate just rocking up though as removing the heel-toe caused me to come off on the second attempt.
