Findaloo

Got down for lamp session with bray, very cold, cycled in, dark at 5. After disconcerting warm up got stuck into pascals. Still a long way to go. Right hand up is snatchy and the hold is sharp. Put left foot out further at start, better balance when needed later on. After many failures bray mentioned the fin which i agreed to against my better judgement. After several gos decided right foot needs to pop off, forget about trying to keep it on altogether. After a lot of frustration i removed the tape on my threee crucial fingers and managed to hold it. Fought the top out probably as hard as i've ever fought a problem after my foot slipped at same point as in last lamp session. This time i regrouped somewhat with foot back on crimp, my stomach cramping and managed to top it out. Took a while to get breath back. 8b.

Tried 7b slab, little tiny edge in middle of small base slab, left foot on gets right foot awkwardly to edge on pseudo arete. Don't know if i could move out of that position.
