tour de force

last night between arrival and darkness wandered amongst the scrubble, marvelled again at all the almosts and what ifs. looked at my old forgotten project, someones pavemented extensively so i will assume its ticked. will still go back and give it a shot on my way back up to black art which left me stumped when i thought i had done it previously. pleased with efforts to hold a shit left hand green sloper, pinky important, then right hand up to arete, then snatch with either right or left, not sure which. code has changed. mountain rescue were down giving reassurance to a shaken climber.

nothing doing in the morning so headed to electric mountain and did the lovely slab after some early psych out. then spent ages on a low ball crimpy problem (lipservice 6c apparently) which should go when i get some more core and finger strength. skin was also starting to show fatigue 4th day on. just as we were leaving i looked at the deep ss which at a glance i think would also go without too much extra effort. ha.

on drive back stopped at zef's and tried the right boulder, absolutely immaculate granite, too warm and tired but should go easily enough on another day. very pleased with the productivity of the whole expedition.
