18 | ★★ Golgotha - with Brett Williams | 30m | ★★★ Classic | |||
Sustained, awkward and classic. We had BD 2x4, 1x5, 1x6 (plus some other stuff) and it was a safe lead that way.

Fingery off the deck and stays so. Feels too finger-tweaky to me on a number of moves so not worth the risk. Nice moves though...good climbing.

Start was hard I thought! One fall at the upper crux - bad foot placement choice. Climbed through from there...will clean up the dog another time.

22 | ★★ Jack Russell (Jack Russel) | 20m, 1 | ★★ Very Good | |||
22 off-width onsite!! - I'm pretty proud of myself for this one. On the flip side I also involuntarily made some sort of whimpering sound I've never made or heard before - not particularly proud of that.

Very traddy and consequently, brilliant. Loved it. Few stiff sections, bit of crusty rock, vibrating blocks, great jamming of all sizes, some exposure and long enough to get right into it. Engaging throughout. Take a no.4 or two and don't leave your micro-cams behind like a did.
