Well its been amazing here in the Lakes of late, and the rest of the UK for that matter.
So after 4 days at work struggling to stave off suicide me and Mr Rob Lay decided a trip to reecastle was in order.
I put a line down Torture Board which i have tried a few times before once about 2 months ago but the top was soaking wet. Today was bone dry.
Managed to do it first go on top rope......dammm it we all know what that means.
So after Rob crushed finger flake finish, i figured out what the gear was on the bottom section, (small purple offset super light and #2 RP) and prepared to lead it.
Altho conditions really where not very good for pull on small holds i was really psyched for it.
Placing the gear is really strenuous so i climbed down after stuffing in the RP. (hold rope, pull down....bounce up and down....RP holds....jobs a gooden)
Then all that was left to do was blast it to the top clipping the peg on the way past, which is pritty hard as well.
Its a great route more like a long boulder problem and pritty damm hard. possible harder than Dawes?? but perhaps not as bold.
Sorry no Photos as it was only me and Rob there.
The whole of Reecastle is chalked at the moment and bit cooler in the morning and after noon due to its shade, super crag.
