3rock Traverse Done :) Studying Has Begun :(

I got up to 3rock early this morning. Upon arrival at the boulders I was pleasantly surprised to see the traverse in the shade. Pierre commented that I might have been finding it hard for the grade because of the hot weather and it turned out he was correct. The rock was cold and so were my hands, the slopers were far easier to hang and I could conserve lots of energy across the problem for the big last move. Other factors which helped were, having a rest the day before, having skin and a couple of tweaks to my sequence, using three deep outside flags in a row. Flags are savage, I used to get all excited by dyno's and deadpoints, flags are were it's at now !! Beautiful problem, catching the jug at the end I let out a big ''Yeeeeaahhhh !!'' I spotted what I thought was a massive lump of granite beside a forest on another hill in the distance, I zoomed in with my camera, it was the Hellfire Club. 6 days to go it's study time now !!
