Glendosan

got into glendo in the morning, beautiful morning but no breeze or sun in the valley meant things were a little damp. started on the tripod, avoiding damp bits for the most part though was stumped on the lovely slab not wanting to step straight up to the crimp on the face, couldn't remember sequence. from here headed straight to fin for a change, to try it with fresh skin. wasn't feeling it but after warming up on the surrounds managed to fight my way up it which pleased me. also got stood up relatively comfortably on the fin slab, one to work on maybe. down to the pathside found egg ss fine in parts but completely lacking power to get heel hook in middle section, very specifc failure. headed out then met paul and dave and went to glendasan to try and catch last sun. got more interested in the line on the camping plateau but still failed. ended at the whale trying ahab in the falling dark, the lads felt it was sandbagged. 6c it is.
