Widdop

Widdop today. I really liked this circuit last time when I went with Hebson last October. I was gutted not to get Spashdown Arete - 6b and the photographed problem below, Pickpocket Crack - 6a+. Today was a very warm day, very different to the time in October. Pete  made fairly short work of Spashdown, much like Andy before. I struggled a bit but was psyched to latch it. The slab went quickly so I was chuffed. I even repeated it for the harsh ritilin kids in between bouts of telling their teachers to fuck off! I was bleeding by now and the main event, The Seventh Wave - 6c was looking unlikely and so it proved. I fell off, mat surfed, and landed arse down in the harsh bog. Maybe a bit of a sign. Pete had it but dropped off just as it was looking sorted. He also tried a few other problems during the day but with no joy. A good day for me, cleaning up the problems I couldn't do earlier.
