Black Rocks

Got an early cold and soggy start to today at Black Rocks, where the hell did this cloud come from?!!
Threw a top rope on Fun Traverse E4 6b. I have tried this ages ago but hadn't even done all the moves, today i got it 1st go! Despite being unable to feel my fingers, which is good as it means in good conditions the lead should go really smoothly :) Can't wait to lead this one - it too has a hands off rest, but on a more impressive scale! It's fairly safe, but with big swing potential! Called fun for a reason ;)

After top roping Fun Traverse the only other dry route we fancied was Gaia E8 6c a famous amazing bold groove. We decided that feeling in our fingers would be more important for that one ;) so headed to The Face, the climbing wall in Wirksworth - which turned out to be a good idea since we were able to feast on chips :) and it started raining soon after...

Better weather forecast tomorrow :)
