We have now finished bolting our first big bastard of a route, 5 pitches, first pitch now almost clean, fun pocketed climbing on a steep slab. The second pitch, my nemesis it seems, is a long, sustained and absolutely brilliant pitch. I will grow the bollocks (and the biceps) to climb it eventually. 3rd pitch seems the technical crux but I like it, sustained technical but it doesn't really feel like I need to pull. Bring it on! 4th pitch, big jugs, big gaps, big runouts cha ching. 5th pitch....who knows! Hopefully by the end of next week we will be at the top.
Looking forward to getting some single pitch routes done now, we have to get into a rhythm and satisfy the bosses so to speak before we get on with our next big project. By god theres a few left!
