Another after work effort this week with my mind set on a number of problems I've never tried. Warmed up by soloing a number of the severes and hard severes at the left end of the crag. I then went on to climb three 6as which took me some time last year but were dispatched with ease today. One of these was Harmless - 6a, which I can now do static!
Moving on, I climbed terror arete before settling down to on of the aims of the day, Jolly Green Dragon 6b+. Its a two move problem involving a loooong dynamic snatch from poorish finger slopers to a sloping ledge. I thought it would go quickly but spent an hour or so on it with no success. I could hit the ledge every time but not hold it. Similar to last year at Widdop with Splashdown Arete. I wonder how you train contact strength. I'll be back for it next week!

contact strength can be aquired by doing 3-4 move boulder problems on your finger board. Move between holds/ quickly. Make sure you are warm fat man!
