2 6b lead by Jen Shirlaw
3 6b lead by Jen Shirlaw
4 6b lead by Jalon Avens
Sport 120m
Lead pitch 4 only. Due to some light rain falling we skipped P1. Jen was supposed to lead the whole route as I was on a "rest day". However after finishing P3 she then offered me P4 as it was a very nice technical pitch and definitely my favourite one from my earlier attempt with Kayley a few days earlier and I was keen to send it this time. Unfortunately I fell at the crux this time though which I had previously onsighted! Recall that I also might have had a small fall on P2 and possibly pulled on a draw climbing out of the belay at P3 as Jessie Waldman was belaying Andy Vo up there and I didn't want to fall on her! Didn't send the route this time either but we did finish in daylight though

Trad 220m Mega Classic
Upper 6 pitches only of ULA as that includes all of the famous crack climbing. Alternate leads with me starting and also leading the first half of the last pitch as Seb was exhausted and wasn't keen leading in the dark! Best trad multi-pitch route yet by far - incredibly sustained jamming and bridging up a beautiful corner crack with hand, fist, offwidth jamming as well a chimneying - it's got it all. Simply brilliant!

Sport 120m Classic
Lead all pitches. Unfortunately abseiled about 35 m past the bottom belay - now know it's only about a 15 m abseil - enjoyed the free hanging prusik back up to the bottom belay! Got started fine on pitch 1 but unfortunately on pitch 2 went off route to the right onto the hard 7a pitch of L'Ange en décomposition and was trying to aid it when noticed some bolts to the left and realised I was off route. Managed to traverse back on route using the cams and continued on. Beginning of 3rd pitch proved quite hard in the dark though but after resting a cam for a bit powered on past the high rock over. Unfortunately made a silly mistake and fell on easy ground near the beginning of pitch 4 but managed to onsight the crux and top out on the correct route after failing to find the top out when abseiling!

Finished on Catalunya Mon Amour probably for at least the last pitch. Believe Andy and I alternated leads. Recall leading P1 as I showed Kayley how to setup an anchor and belay a seconder using guide mode at first belay. Also recall Andy leading the last pitch as it was an easy one to do in the dark!
