Post Cave

Had a steady trip to Parisella's. Got a good few problems done albeit the conditions not being perfect. Actually, that's a lie. When we arrived at 9pm on wednesday night the conditions were amazing. Hands literally stuck to the rock. After a little route wiring, I sent Left Wall Traverse. This required me to strip down to my boxers for a power attempt, which worked. I was really happy having done this route after putting it off for so long. Byron got very close to sending Louis Ferrino (also having a power boxer attempt.) And Northern Ben got close on Dust Kick Low (possibly the grungiest looking problem in the cave!)

After much tea and gruelling over the shit weather, we decided to wait for conditions to improve in the cave by inducing a forced rest. Although this ended as soon as we arrived back at the cave around mid day and we ended up trying some stamina link-ups instead of waiting for conditions on our projects. I was a complete douche and dropped the CB low link into Bust Lip on the final match. Fortunately I sent it next go. I did the same again on the CB low link into Parisella's original. Although I didn't give it another shot. Byron showed how much of a beast he was by essentially campussing parisella's original because he was scared of using his heel. Beast. I was pleased with sending CB low into Lipped Out though. This only occurred because I wrong handed myself on the original link and decided to finish up this! Doh. Also spent sometime on Left Wall, working on the second half of Left Wall High. (Which has become my new project - mega psyched for this now.)

Friday saw some more pretty appalling cave conditions. Although we didn't let this stop us from getting on a few things. Danny and I worked Left Wall High for a bit and realised how cruxey the last few moves are when your spanked! Still mega psyched. We then set about ticking all of the easier problems on the right hand side of the crag which ended up being a really good session. Our ascent of Beaver Righthand may rank as one of the all time greatest climbing achievements. Danny also impressively flashed RWT into Clever Cleaver. Making V9 look like a breeze.

As the conditions in the cave were less then ideal we decided to head back on friday. This did however mean I could give Byron's woody a real session. After putting Bob's new holds onto the board we absolutely spanked ourselves.

Got a few rest days now, so will hopefully get some feeling back in my arms! Mega psyched for the lake district.

And on other news, I'm going to Majik wood. I am fucking psyched. Psyched.
