After our last attempts at winspit Tommy and myself was keen to get back and try and tick our routes, but on arrival they were very wet.. the sun was in the sky but with a band of cloud on the horizon which kept coming between the sun and the crag it looked unlikely to dry.. the routes on the adjoining corner of south face was Dry as usual, so we warmed up on the same rotes as before then moving round too a route called "nine years absence" which was a fairly tecnical F6a and good fun..

We then decided to get on something harder and so we chose to look at a route called "agonies of a dying mind" (F7a)  this route starts under a roof and is very bouldery you have to pull up on a crimp and a pinch with very bad feet.. i had a try then pulled over the lip to clip the 2nd bolt, as i did the heavens opened up, so i quickly stripped the route and we sat under the lip for some lunch.
the route didnt get wet and it soon passed over and cleared up with blue skys once again, so Tommy said he was keen to try it and after a few false starts was over the lip and on his way to the lower off once over the lip the climbing is pretty easy and he took the tick.. Pretty Awesome.. and i was psyched to have a go which i did 4 times before pulling myself over the lip and dogging the rest of the route taking a bit of a detour and falling at cutting my hand in the process.. not sure what i was playing at haha.



I think im close to nailing these F7a routes and shouldnt take londg to be as fit or fitter than i was in the summer my sport climbing is consisting of trying to climb at my limit now and im aiming to tick F7a again before the months out weather permitting...

Was a good day and was interesting to meet Scot Tit who is president of the BMC he had lots to say and was very interesting knowligable and also quite humerous..
