Despite being a bit knackered from Fridays antics and Summit Quarry, I took the chance to go to Trowbarrow on Saturday, whilst Granma and Granpop looked after Rose. It would be a lie if I said the shelterstone is my style, so it was not surprising I really struggled on Pit Problem 7b+. It took far more goes than it should have, but I am just poor at this style and angle. I could blame it on being tied, but that would be a cop out too. In the end it was a slappy and out of control ascent, but an ascent none the less. I gave up on the low start, one for another day.

I took shelter and retreated from the steepness to Red Wall. Here I sent around 25 problems, the highlights were Shallow Grave font 7a+, Dead Man Walking (short version) font 7b and the full traverse that equates to a sport grade of 7b/+. My skin is now wafer thin and I really really need a few days rest. Lets hope I've recovered before the weather turns.
