Tricky really. Hard to justify a 3+hour round trip for say two just-before-dark redpoints or more importantly persuade someone else that this is a good idea.

That gave me an idea...

Me: How about we go up for a day in the Dales on Saturday and you give me a couple of belays before it gets dark
Her: Let me check the calender....yes that sounds like a good idea

Does that mean 50th Birthday parties are off the agenda?

Yes. Apology and excuses have been sent.

You'll be able to climb until 9:30 I bet.. (I'm sure you know the route by touch now anyway ;) )

Nice that it finishes on a no-hands rest!

You need to work on smoothing out that undercling part, and get some funkier trousers. Then it's in the bag for sure  :)

Steve Dunning moved  the belay a few years ago which I gather made it harder to clip. Certainly there were a few redpoint failures at this point. I accidently discovered the kneebar at the end of a session when I was knackerd. Its not at all obvious despite being so good.

As for the trousers I wouldn't have expected you to appreciate the discrete italian styling let alone pick up on the Wittgenstein reference of the logo.   :P

Discreet Italian styling won't give you the necessary power....look at Steve Mac and his orange 3/4 lengths, that's more like it  ;)
