Yesterday we had a family and friends trip to Stanage for a spot of bouldering. After some extreme pram action, we found ourselves in the plantation, and despite it being a little warm, the friction was pretty good.

| Zippy's Traverse |
Warming up saw the Bullworker font 6b and the Bull Flakes sit start V5 get flashed, and all the problems on the Crozzle block get sent as well. I had my eyes on Zippy's Traverse V8, which I had been on before at the end of a day last year. This time I had warmed up for it specifically, and was hopeful. Things looked promising when I fell off having done the crux getting over excited first try. This however became frustrating when I could not get that far again. Eventually, I was in the crux with all the holds feeling amazing and suddenly latching the jug. A romp up the flake to glory and happy days. I wrapped my session up with quick run across the excellent Green Traverse V6.

Penny has not been on rock much since having Isabel 4 1/2 months ago, but still made short work of a few problems up to V2.

A great day to be chilling around the boulders,
