25 | ★★ The Plumbers Crack — 4 attempts - with Brendan Heywood | 8m | ★★ Very Good | ||||
As hard and as sharp as nails. I thought I’d get back into it pretty quickly but turns out I had to relearn the beta…it was coming back to me by the end. Good to get gear placements sorted.

25 | ★★ The Plumbers Crack - with Ben Vincent | 8m | ★ Good | ||||
Reacquainting with all the beta. Felt nails again pulling on, crimps are sharp and none of the jams are really great. Did more or less most of the moves in three sections: off the ground to thin moves to get into the layerback, trick is to hop and swap feet and then chill out a little. For the bulge the sequence which worked well for me was avoid the Salmon tickle that Ben was doing, right hand on the okish slightly downward jam, then left hand ring finger hook into the little meat grinder and pull right through so right falls into the side pull, then feels pretty good out left to crimp the crystal then, right high step and slap the right hand up a few times and profit. Ended up right my right hand under the top rope anchor for an unfun knuckle grate

25 | ★★ The Plumbers Crack - with Ben Vincent, Benji Dutaillis, carol lee, Michael Moore | 8m | ★★ Very Good | ||||
Surprisingly possible. Minging crimpy start and then its mostly ok in crack, then crux topout. On my last go my high point was the last pinch jam. I did the top from the good crimp way out left at the top but I think its too far and I can do it just with the nipple crystal instead. Ben was super close

V4 | ★★ Christmas Custard - with Brendan Heywood, Benji Dutaillis | 5m | ★★★ Classic | ||||
Spent an age working this on first attempt. Got it on my second with Benji's beta.

Had a few goes and with Benji's beta I can statically press through the crux but come up literally millimetres short of the jug finish! Moving my right hand in further puts me off balance. I'm probably going to need to stem my right foot out. It's a fairly big fall

3 attempts, crux is fairly low on the left
