from south to west

I've finished lectures for Easter so I've moved back up to my parents house in Bradford for two weeks before I go to Mallorca. I'm working for the next 6 days so I won't have much chance to take advantage of my freedom. A couple of evening sessions at Leeds Wall or Shipley Glen should keep me ticking over. And its a good chance to grow back some of the skin I've lost through the last couple of months. I haven't had a top layer on my right index finger for weeks!

Last Thursday I went to the Climbing Works and, as a demonstration of my current level of fitness, I climbed all but two of the new purple/spotty circuit problems that ranged from 6b - 7a.

On Friday I sacked off essay writing to take advantage of the good weather. Though I made a tactical error and went to Stanage for the afternoon. It was horribly greasy and I couldn't touch any of the problems I had come to try.

I searched for shade and played on Brad Pit. I got bored of the first move and set off to the Buckstone. As I'd hoped, the Buckstone Dyno (7b) was in the shade and I latched the top in 5 goes.

This was a good consolation prize for an afternoon where I spent more time walking than climbing!
