Yesterday I when to Huntly's Cave with a brand new climbing bud, Ben. He'd slept in having been out most of the night and we didn't head out till 2pm. When we arrived (watch out the car park is different now so remember to stop even if you dont recognise it) Ben climbed double over hang then I had a score settled on Pete's Wall. Last time I was on it resulted in server pump and my first leader fall. Yesterday it felt like a piece of piss, maybe only E1, but I'll happily take the 2 E points. Ben's elbow was fucked from arm wrestling and he couldn't second and that was his climbing over for the rest of the day. I then attempted Bo Po Crack. I'd tried it before arsing around one day, going on it again it felt like an onsight. A few timid attempts at getting over the roof were reversed until Ben said he was getting eaten alive by midge. I decided to go for it and pull over the roof but the temps were not good and I greased off. Got it next try... am def taking the e points on that one too.
What people don't seem to get is that it is my e point league, I make the rules, and one of the rules is that the best looking climber will win!!
Edit: Murdoch had this to say about my ascent of Bo Po Crack: "get my fucking name on ur blog then" as he gave me knowledge of where the good hold were. Sorry Murdo, Thanks for the beta... Ya needy person!

I'm still up for some climbing round your way btw - if you get a weekend where you can run about different crags with me and the old man give me a shout.
