went up to the mac waterfall on saturday in the pissings, should have turned around at loughlinstown but inertia kept me moving forward and i sat in the car park reading the papers until i could summon the energy to ignore the overpowering sense of wasted time. trudged in, dropped a rope down the craglet and bounced down the line i wanted to clean. didn't do a very good job, the brush getting too muddy early on rendering later cleaning efforts useless. the line is still nice but suffers badly from lack of a starting hold, with the first real hold something of a hop off the ground. difficult to really get a sense when everything was so miserable and wet. retreated to heathers for an all day breakfast, always good for what ails ye. can't be wasting petrol money on these trips now that i'm a student.
got up 3 rock on sunday late afternoon in a successful climbing/girlfriend combotrip. stayed on the middle boulder. tried new-to-me vertical line, aim to do 6 pure-ish straight up lines on it, might need spotter.
cooped tonight, felt better for the lack of climbing since thursday.
