Had an awesome day today, after a damp start we decide to head to the Great Ormes and climbed a few easy routes around mumbo jumbo area, before moving round the corner to climb contusion F6c. Its a route I have tried before and failed miserably, as for me it is not a warm up, and on previous attempts it has been freezing. Today it felt OK until the top section, where I had to do something I rarely do in my trad climbing and lay one on for a hold at the top.
I must have had a look of surpirse on my face when after I made the hold I actually stayed on, and managed to cruise to the belay for glory. We headed back after that as I had arranged to meet Llion for some after work (well for him) cragging. So we headed to the railtrack slab and climbed Here today, gone tomorrow a route that was given E4 6a previously. However it has had a couple of extra bolts added a few years back and is now more like a soft touch E3, with maybe 1 move of soft 6a. Its a great line though and well worth climbing alongside Off the Beaten Track.
We also climbed a couple of other new additions to the Railtrack Slab, one was OK the other was a bag of shite if I am totally honest. All good though, the amount of time I am spending on the rock means I am growing in confidence, strength and stamina by the day.
There is more new from today but I will wait till another day, as its late and I am tired! This weekend is time First Aid certificate renewal! Two days in a classroom!
