Lamper session

Mint cold day got me psyched about lamp session after the success of the one and only one we did last spring. Tim along, in at the boulders @7.30, very cold, badly wanted gloves for the cycle. Little sketched warming up and failed on coupla things early on, either arms tired or weird light angles to blame. Quickly got stuck into superstars, hit final hold three times, still sketched by dark, should have finished it otherwise i think. Up to fin, after a little messin around worked out the key is to go in very tight twist knees to left and lay back off LH a lot and unscrew to reach RH hold, leaving left foot on and maybe just popping right foot off at end of reach. Managed to hold and move through but the light angles made it difficult to see feet and then to find angles for foot hold and i came off, skin spent. Cruxes of both feeling solid though. Headed out entranced by the lovely romantic moon light and nearly crashed bikes into some deer. Mountain Rescue having love-in in the cottage.
