Well, after an epic search, the climber's flat has now been established. The Climbers are:
Me - legoman haircut/lanky youth
Ben Litster - fresh from 5 months in europe, Chris Sharma.
Murdo Jamieson - All rounder, likes winter climbing (yeuch) and very tall.
Honorary member - Danny Laing - adventurist and keen
This is excellent and seems the psyche levels will be tip top through out the year.
On the crest of the psyche wave was a send of Dum Dum Boys 7c+ by Ben and I. This is a line just left of sufference and is of similar difficulty. It's also bad ass - some of the holds are no so good crimps and beta from Alan Cassidy was excellent. Ben sent it with out much trouble, despite climbing the top out onsight. I'd done the bottom section clean but with the 4th bolt preclipped so was very nervous not to fall off here. Luckily I managed to do so, but it was not smooth at all. I missed the crux move twice before eventually grasping the ok sloper. Soon after this I was lying on the ledge whilst being jeered by the unhelpful Alan and Niall for poor style...
Good to do it in a day, as it took me so long to do sufference. Tarrier next!!!
