The weekend was good and we spent it pootling about trying to capture some vague psych for the brown rock. It worked, although nothing (remotely)hard was targeted; instead it was like doing a good days circuiting.
Saturday was Stanage far right where once Nat and I had stopped bickering like pro's we both enjoyed what was mainly sideways shuffling.
Sunday was a much shorter day and mostly involved playing with flashes with a bit of climbing thrown in. Its nice to tick a few more bits and bobs off the list of glaring omissions although I've now done purple haze and its variants a worrying number of times.
I think the few things that remain (or were added) to the list, reside on Staffordshire brown stuff and require a fair bit more effort both in driving (being awake) and pulling (Tetris being the main target I think).
Back inside I've fallen into the Tues/Thurs routine quite happily although its been mostly spent at the Works (the Foundry got a little dull). I've been trying my best to use the deviant comp style problems to try and improve my total failure when it comes to toe-hooking. Thankfully its working well and on Tues I managed to tick off a few bits that seem like a walk in the park to most people; they were a hell of a struggle!
I also had a brief flirtation with the board and I liked it. The cruel tease that she is however was evident last night as I waved at small holds that I hadn't a hope of holding. (5+3)c Mawson demo'd the problems and is looking in good shape for the upcoming Malham season.
This week I managed to add yet another flash to my arsenal of photographic equipment and for a pittance (£5, it would have been £2.50 if the other unit didn't contain decaying batteries). Whats even more remarkable than a photographic bargain is the fact that I survived playing around with electronics (the unit needed modifying) with no electrocution, only temporary blindness from firing a full pop about an inch from my face!
