End of Easter holiday

We now have a great short demo video of my ascent of Camel Hot E6 6b kindly created by Sam Dixon:

The tuesday after i did Camel Hot i went up to black rocks again to finish off Velvet Silence E6 6c, a fantastic slab / arete route with no gear and much faith in friction! I cleaned the line which was pretty green, but it came into good condition pretty quickly and after 3-4 top ropes (plus 2 previous sunday) i soloed it above 1 small and 2 regular pads. 2 E6 personal bests in 3 days, with little practise! Very happy!!

Unfortunately i returned to uni and exams the next week, so more revision and less climbing to be done! Now had the 2 exams for this small period and will be heading to Churnet for some bouldering sometime this weekend!
