hard scrit

headed to glendasan for a change and it turned into a good old school exploration of the masses of rock above the mining village. first tried problem lower down on slopes, from standing try and hold dirty sloper and move through to bottom of a crack, hard. sit start is all there but would be very hard. tried another one up amongst the crags which starts on great side pulls up to a frustratingly slopey break. sun shining directly on it made it very difficult but the rock was cleaner than lower. another lovely looking line involved a following a dwindling crack up a slab to a slopey highball top out, again the sun and fading tips meant i didn't risk the top properly. a few great looking slabs around but the rock type doesn't do them justice. an interesting lip traverse might be worth a revisit. finished on back in black a really brilliant line up a steep overhanging arete on textbook holds to a disturbingly difficult top out that i couldn't do.

on walk out had look at the problem to right of darkness but fingers were too burnt to give it a go, upper slopey section felt nails though.
