After a few days of being stuck in corporate hell at work in London, Me and Stumpy were finally on the train back to Sheffield, beers in hand, ready for a weekend of sunny grit. Aly txt'ed in the morning with suggestions of ticking a few E5's so the plan was set. After a breakfast of goliath proportion, we felt ready for action. After a few easy solos (Heather wall, Sunset slab) we got straight on Strapadictomy. I bouldered out the start which had a fairly tricky move but was OK once you had the sequence. I jumped off and Aly jumped on, cruised the start and then got involved! after placing a few cams in the break of Strapiombante he leaned across to the tenuous rib and somehow fiddled in a big nut and a green Alien.
Needless to say we all then thought we'd step up to the challenge only to fail
Strapadictomy is hard! After being ego bashed by Strapadictomy, I headed on to Strapiombo which was good, awesome hanging upside down of bomber fist and foot jams! Adam followed me up but the Link cam I'd placed dissappeared into the depths pf the crack only to be retreived 30 mins later after lots of stick coaxing. I received lots of strange looks when I asked for something long smooth and stiff...We then headed over to Great Slab, Aly flashed Great Slab, Dom cleanly headpointed soloed Heartless Hare at E5 5c, then Aly tried it one handed, in the dark whilst being attacked by a bat... Which was an excellent end to an excellent day!
