The Week Return

It was too long...... Sick Last Wednesday, and not upto it on Thurdsday, so hang out for the Weekend.

Saturday came and had other comitments call, "The Boy" needed an extrra hand or two and they were attached to my arms....... beutiful day, and as such I knew that Sunday would be Shite, and it was, strong showers ripping into the face at the Long Side.

Raced into town and had a breif meet with The Pharmasist, who was in NZ for the weekend, she has given the FBC her gear, so will divided the spoils with the Crew, The Student has 2 of the books and I'm sure would like the third ............... So Shoot me.

Got down to the face at 1pm Sunday and there was one Brave Lad doing his first Lead of Bandersnatch (19) and the Elements were Quickly upgrading it to a 22. I went home, Shoulda gone indoor but woooooosted out big time.

So, along came Wednesday, again, and not a bad Restart. Climbing with the Student and we both warmed up on Soliloquy (18) , then The Student went and Led Thimble Rigger (21),
which the FBC top roped with out any apparent dificulty, so gonna have to Lead that soon.

After that we went over to my old friend Defust (18) and again tried to Lead, Well things were going well, even had my last peice in and clipped, all the time in the world, and placed a foot in the wrong pos, mad a desparate grab with the right hand and got the tips into the hold, and ........... and............. @%$%$!%$%$!%%^&^# Yeah!!!! real happy Climber not!!.

The Student got up Raven (24) on Top rope very nicely indeed, and started practicing his placements for the "Successful" Lead to come. I got up half way again........ damm FAT, Damm Overweight, DAMMed Old Barsted.

Did penance .... Top roped Defust 3 times with small rests between each accent.

Thurdsday Night and Back at it.

Soliloquy (18) warm up and then The Student did a Lead on ........mmmmm will have to check the Guide, then we top roped Barracuda and the FBC belayed Xarmy on Soliloquy and the 25 to the Right , Must check that Guide again.

Got Cold ......Went home.

And the comming long weekend looks Shite again.
