lurking in the dark

up early again for a trip to glenmac and snowy conditions on higher ground looked promising until we got there and found the ground to be nowhere frozen underneath the snow. so we headed to glendo on the basis the snow wouldn't be in the sun and hoepfully wouldn't be melting all over the holds. turned out there was no snow on the boulders just some serious damp in the shade and beautiful sunlight starting a third of the way up the scree making us feel even colder. difficult to get psyched initially. tried rails ss got off the ground but upper holds were fully wet, just happy to have got start for first time in a while. tried egg mantle( after having to melt ice in handhold by rubbing it with great vigour ) and surprised myself by getting it. up to enter the goat sloper problem but it was damp, looks fun. up to fin, again surprised myself by holding starting hold real solid, so solid that i felt comfortable dropping off over some minor discomfort with my left hand, thinking i'd get it next go. Ha. Dec then quite comprehensively fucked the shit out of it and topped out. having no interest in sloppy seconds my energy faded quickly on it, happy to have held the start. on the way out decided to quickly try Superstars and flashed it which was more than a little pleasing. FLASH etc...
