Last week was quite a week, firstly lunchtimes were spent at West Chevin boulders trying, trying and trying again Eat The Light (Font 7a+), until on Friday I had one of those "I can't believe it" moments when I found my self latched to the top.

Friday after work we went for a butchers at Ross and Amanda's new problem at East Chevin, the good ones are quite high ball but look really good, but my lack of skin deterred me from the send.


So a weekend of R&R was called for, Saturday was spent at Saltburn-on-Sea. We got there to find the UK Surf Champs' were going on, oh dear the sea was as flat as a witches tit.




Plans for this week, if the weather holds is to get one of my nemesis problems 'Hanging Grove' at Earl Crag, superb but tough on the skin. Saturday to go to Panorama for guide writing duties and to get on Phoenix wall, though it truly is nails and probably beyond me.
