Light on the horizon

So font training has begun again and im feeling in full swing, but the only thing not playing ball is the weather. It has literally been a month of virtually rain everyday and what days there are no rain, the rock is no good. Im on ym 2 week winter break from work and ive been let down by the heavens virtually everyday. 

however we did get out yesterday, me and seb took a trip to black rock in the hope of some bouldering. The rock was dry but it been unseasonabally warm, so conditions were not the best. After most the day there, we both left empty handed, not a single problem done. So en route back we stopped off at the stride where andi, dave jordan and niaomi were tearing up the grit, only about an hour left of light. we join them on a 7a+ slab route for a warm up. First problem of the day - depressing but i feel better. Then seb gets to work on bens wall - 7c. Jordan did it not long previously so gives us the beta. Seb gets to the last moves, but its quite commiting. Im struggling, its a reachy problem for sure. Whilst me and seb are working on it, jordan whips a rope up on big al queda, by time we get round he's already flashed it, but the pads are still down so me and seb get on it, a few goes later i do it, grim damp top, but some quality moves for sure and a new tick for me, a couple goes later and seb does it to. Good end to the day.

 

watching the weather today and it looks like the weather is gonna start cooling down again mid week onwards, so some projects, and most notabally my super mario project on the tetris block will be on the cards> lets see what the wind blows.
