wasn't bad nick tonight. question does in excess sit start just left of delta force on the crimps low down? (I just rumbled up the edges and it felt nowhere near near 7b but i didn't use any pinches) and did fertile delta starting from the same point again didn't feel 7c ( jump move became a bit more problematic) if only it was near chorlton.

The sitter to Fertile Delta doesn't really add much gradewise.

In Excess sitter starts just left on two edges, then moves left a bit up some pinches. There are some other holds in between the two, which is what I'm guessing you climbed up.

Two crimps either side of a shothole scar.

Is it dry? I might finish work early enough to sneak a cheeky session in.
Also by popular demand I've added a traverse links page to the wiki for those of a crab-like nature.

I look forward to receiving feedback on the grades, however if you could refrain from writing it on bricks that would be appreciated.

Been raining this afternoon and yesterday too, but after such a long dry spell it should be OK if the wetness desists.  Enjoy.

On a repeat front, i did In Excess sitter today. I agree with R-Man its possibly soft 7c, or quite condition dependent 7b+. Great moves though.

Any idea on what it's going to be like for tomorrow? It was raining here in Blackpool this morning, just wondering if it travelled further East.

The only complaint is it may be too hot, but evening time you should be OK.
I may go tomorrow evening after work- if you see a lanky dude with taped finger, give him some abuse.

It's looking like Wednesday, so if you see a weak middle age punter, feel free to return the abuse  ;D

It got quite a bit better after you'd gone, A (though I'm not blamong you).
If it stays 28 degrees in the day, 8 is when it started getting less sweaty.

Pretty good nick last night, a cooling breeze running down the crag and not too much grease. Just heaps of weakness evident  :'(

Load of new links done today which got added to the traverses/links section of wiki. Good for training and maybe some motivation to get down...
