Unfortunately the weather decided that no-one would be bouldering at Burbage on sunday :( So we decided to head to the sanctuary of Wrights Rock - again!
Not as good as the Saturday, the conditions were a bit rubbish (ie, windy + dry + popular = dust storm!) and one or two routes and landings were soggy...
Demonstrated my sequence of Simple Simon to a keen Jen and Jonny, then (tried to!!) show them 'Problem 9'.
My main aim for the trip was to do 'Wrights Unconquerable' Font7a+, a desperate and powerful roof crack - not my style!! Spent about 30-40 minutes trying the moves and managed all but the last dyno around the lip... I reckon i need to spend more time training on steep powerful boulder problems.
Can't wait for next weekend - going home with Dafydd for a couple of days on on the grit with short(er!) journey times, good food and comfort! Also need some better trousers for winter bouldering so a trip to Hathersage is needed :) Fingers crossed for good weather!
