up to speed

so strangely the weather has been dry. a month of snow and dry weather. the perigrines have moved to the upper tier and im thinking about routes as well now.

so since b4xs, i decided to get on my tetris block proj, some almost successful session, but no joy, now it warmed up abit , the window of opportunity has closed.

Ive been on hols the last couple weeks,so caught up with some different styles of climbing> ivehad 3 sessions at staage and burbage north for some snowballing. on my first occasion, i warmed up on archangel onsight, folloed by cemetry waits (e7 6c) on my 4th go. after, we did some round the plaintation, bread line (e4 6c) onsight and finished on silk. wewas climbign with fon fullwood, johnny dawes, ru davis and co today. 2 days laer im back at stanage and burbage with dom and eddy barnes. we head straight to burs for 3 blind mice e7 6c. i decide that its a slab, so should be ok for a warm up. im right, i onsight it. Sweet, then we get o the awesome looking arete just right , ai no something something e6 6b, onsight again. next we head back to stanage. try silk ,but its warm, then do breadline again, big air e5?, don (e4) and white wand (e5), then finish on careless torque,bt obviously wit no success, so not a bad day.

a couple saturdays ago, me andi, dave and john perrin head to tremadog for some multi pitch action and do cream E4, im almot out of my depths, but thats wat i need to ge better on. a few days later, i decide to head to hen cloud and project myxi for the first time this season. Its gonna be hard to tick this because th last move is difficult, but more because getting the spotters will be hard to, as i plan to highball it.  get to the last move a few times but the roc is hrrible on the skin, and im done in no time.

a few days later i had back to stanage on me tod, as  head ulassess bow (e6 6c) is in nick, and some sno still remaining, i kno this will be my last snowballing opportunity and go for it. It was raining all the way,meven when i got to hope valley, so i pull over to take a look at the guide for a plan b, but i notice a blue sky patch over stanage way, so risk it. it paid off, dry, not cold, but not hot and the rock is sticky. i hea stright for the goal of ulyasses. notice the condioinsr superb and go forit, onsight, sweet. i have anothergo to get my petrols worth, but fluff the top.. not destroying my success i go again anddo it, then decide to have a 3rd ascent and get this to. after i head down to get ont he joker, but dont ge to fr wth it, but was an nch from the top of delivrance a fair few times, but sadly it raind at this point and it was hoe time.
