Well last night I went down to the works. I was having a reasonably good session, doing the grey thing on the curved section of the comp wall, don't know what grade it gets but it was a minor triumph.
After doing that I started looking for easy reds, swiftly found one. 34 i think, opposite the small kids boulder. Long reach to the top of the long volume, match, left foot up onto edge just below the lip of the volume, rock up a long way, turn your right hand, rock some more, right foot to hand....well and then my (left) foot slipped, i pivoted round the hold with two limbs attatched before springing back and landing badly on the leg, my break hurt like hell, Nat was in tears and the group I was climbing with was silent. No damage so I sat down and tried to laugh it off to make Nat feel better. Nat unsurprisingly wanted to leave, so I made myself warm down and tried to chuckle it off some more.
Not good.
I know i've been fairly negative and critical of the works since it opened but the thing i'm least a fan of is the new matting cover they have, I forecast more injury.
