Top Pitch only, this time. Climbed with Marek as part of a Comyns-Big Bird linkup (to avoid the Grade 10 doddle pitch at the top of Comyns). Funky moves to gain the "beak", heaps more fun on LEAD (clean) this time, rather than on second. Fist Jams and Offwidth technique for the WIN! (Though Marek disagrees with me on that).

With Marek. P1 - Second (clean), P2 - Onsight, P3 - Second (clean). A great way to escape the crag, and good fun as well. P2 is the most involved (with some steep laybacking, an awkward crack/corner, and a hard friction-slab-esque move over a bulge), but the "beak" feature on P3 is intriguing and guarantees much hilarity. Good value.
