went down to the gap for the kerry meet, long way for two days but well worth it in the end, two days of very hot sun. did a lot of wandering hillsides exploring but realistically added nothing new to the areas development, a lot of rock there. started in black valley on a boulder duffy had just discovered, a sheep pen boulder with a lovely looking fingery flake and a very nice blocky corner. went from here to the lough, joined the flash club for rock n lock, a fantastic problem, then could do boneyard from standing but baulked at the idea of the heel toe lock for the sitter even with a soft touch tag of 7b being sniffed around. explored deeper into the next valley and up into the forest off the kerry way but found nothing of note. back for noodles and sean nos. sunday headed up gap, pottered at the turnpike arete, tried onion arete and crimpy face. rock quality much more sandstoney and satifsying than the mostly crimpy holds of saturday but wasn't hurling myself at stuff. explored further down behind the lower lake but again nothing of note. several people raving about the watchtower boulder despite its presence on haunted land.
good honest ibt session all round, everyone living up to their reputations, great to be camping again.
