Weekend Cragging

I spent the weekend not at LLAMFF but cragging. It was ashame the weather was so hgood otherwise I would have liked to see a few of the films. However with blue skies and dry rock it seemed criminal to sit indoor. So I spent Saturday in Vivian, climbing Last Tango, before attempting Gin Palace, I made it second go from the ground to the top of the chimney where the wet crack shut me down. I so want this route now, it did take nearly all my effort, as I was harbouring a hangover from the pub the night before.

I also had a quick play on Manic Strain, and remeber how hard it is for someone not the 6ft 6inchs of the first ascentionist who sculpted the route. So not going to get back on this little number. We then climb Never as Good as the first time, before I had to power nap in the sun whilst the rest of the team did Mentil Lentils and Psychotherapy.

The LLAMFF party was good, with Banda Cabana playing. I left at 1.30 am, in hope of getting some more climbing in due to the awesome forecast. So I headed out at 10am to the Rainbow Slab area and climbed Bella Lugosi is Dead and Pull My diasy. I spent the rest of the day, in and out of consciousness infront of the TV. Totally knackered after nine days of work and climbing, plus two party nights in a row. Tomorrow I will sleep!
