Early start, nice breakfast, walk to Fisherman's ledge – Gibber, Gibber where's the crag. Drat Adrian found it ab in Snap Crackle and Plop [E35C] Gibber, Gibber, Gibber, - awesome stuff by Adrian me I just dogged my way up 2nd. The barstard thing lent back all the way PUMPY!
Ab back in & wander around to Rough Boys E15B bolted and pumpy what state were my forearms in!!!!
Now another walk to Boulder [bad memories] ruckle ab in, Adrian leads Billy Pigg E15B, 4C, MU falls off the overhanging crux, dangling and unable to touch rock, arms pumped and useless. Ade with some intriguing and ingenious rope work virtually hauls me up [ok so I had to pull as well]. There are some lessons for me here:
1. Carry prussic's and remember how to use them under stress.
2. Why bother with boulder ruckle when you're 5 foot 4 and a bit, and over weight.
3. As the small guy and not as good as the big guy you may have the right of veto, the roof was a bitch, and the jug out of reach.
4. So look at the thing first to be certain you can follow the big guy.
'Nuff whinging I still enjoyed it in a perverse way, thanks to Adrian for an interesting day out. I may not be returning to boulder ruckle…oh go on then pull my fingernails out.
