meet

no night session due to rain and bed by 2am friday night, 13 people slept down. up to shitty enough weather but sun out by the time we got to boulders and stayed all day. opened with rails, couldn't do egg mantle, got egg ss using dec's humping beta, couldn't get superstars. up to pascals and watched chris get it for his first time. found that i could get to the break if i used chris/ tim method of left hand up into best part of undercut and right hand sidepulling above it before moving up. can move into it but at the moment finding left hand too open in the undercut crimp and quite painful. lot of work still to do. couldn't get blind stick, got black arts quickly. lot of real impressive features in and around crackland. up to chilax and couldn't top out the left. then up to fin, got ss second go. real clean top out was very pleasing after long day. decent crowd down, probably close to 40, though as usual very few stuck around for the night, lamos. bed by 3am.
sunday -up to electric mountain for damp wander in forest, an unwitting tourguide. by the time we'd done a lap holds were drying and spent the rest of the afternoon trying 4 moves 4 feet off the ground. built up a good technique only for the beta to change late in the day, all in the twist of a knee. hands match start on crimp, foot low right, rh onto low ramp, shift feet across left foot/knee pointing left, right foot hugging low out right. important to hang very low and plumbline, match on ramp then left up to good crimp on the lip, r dabs and goes for arete. top out looked intersting but low ramp out right important. worn out back to hut to fail miserably at hoiking a heavy weight over my head. good meet, good people.
