Finally..

Had a an awesome day at Rubicon with Northern Ben, Byron and Scuba Steve yesterday. After months of getting shut down on font7c's I finally managed to man up enough to get one done. Despite it being soft and a 1 move wonder, it's broken the mental barrier which will allow me to get on with some of the awesome problems I've been trying in the cave.

I saw off the three variations of kudos and left the dirty looking sitter for another day. Also finally got a bigger splash which I was massively more up for once told it finished on low jugs instead of high (don't know where I got that impression from.) I was also informed by Ben that there was a v6 right of a bigger splash called a bigger prize which I then flashed - although I'm sure we must have been in the wrong place cause it was never v6!

I really like Rubicon, as it kind of plays to my strengths (everything but the press? - which is stupidly hard!!!) I'm well and truly psyched for the sport down there. Hot Fun Closing has been on my ticklist for sometime and now that I know that Kudos Hard Way suits me pretty well I'm hoping to give it a go in the near future!


Also had a day at the cave on Monday and got massively shut down by Rock Attrocity. Had a good first go, but it went down hill after that! When we got there I repeated Clever Beaver and Clever Cleaver and felt pretty strong. I then proceeded to shut myself down on Rock Att so after completely spanking myself on the end moved onto left wall high. Managed to do the flake start relatively easily again and now worked out some awesome new beta for the start which saves about 5moves! Gonna give this a real attempt next time I'm there, maybe sometime next week? I did however managed to tick one new route despite it being rather grim - Ring of Fire Low.

Anyway back to work this weekend, may get some climbing at the churnet today, if not I'l have a pretty hard session tomorrow.
