Lots of shots but first shot today - isnt that what counts. I dont really like the comunal start but the moves on the onions bit are great. Will shoot for the extension via the veterans start me thinks.

25 Rubber Lover Sport 20m, 5 Very Good
Too funny. Struggled to get this last week after 3 shots on it. Was crowded at W wall on sat so I warmed up on it and ticked it. Was relieved for 2 reasons one I hate taking a number to get your shot on a climb and two this thing feels tickable from your first attempt (for me 12 months ago) but it proved harder than what I thought.

Clipped the anchors and then fell. Was told by my ever so critical belayer that I cant claim it, so I did it again trying to look like I was gonna fall off every move but I was just messing around . . . can someone really climb that badly and still not fall off, I guess so.
