Adam on The Uberhang Traverse 6A
... after this we headed down the hill to try Fuck All Left 7A, it felt greasy and nails hard so we quickly gave up and went a little further down the path to do Squamish 6A+. Great little problem. The sun was kicking our ass so we sat in the shade to escape its rays and munch on lunch ...
Jamie on Squamish 6A+
... next up was Quality Control 6C. Adam fancied a crack at it and J was out for revenge after his session on it saturday. J's skin was in bits and he couldn't get it, Adam had a good session on it figuring out all the moves bar one, it should go for the two of them on a cooler September day I reckon. As the evening approached the sun dipped down below the crest of the hill casting a shadow across the valley and cooling the temps of the rock nicely and I headed over to have a go of The Cherry 7A, I love this problem and I really want to do it, at the moment it feels really hard and a little out of my league , however I am gonna try hard on it and train hard for it and it will be interesting to see progress and hopefully it will go for me this season ...
Me Working The Cherry 7A
... I managed to do some of the moves, from the pinch in the right hand and the crimp out left I can finish up the problem, but the moves from the sit-start into that position utterly defeat me, I just hadn't got a hope of doing them so I resigned myself to doing deadhangs in the different positions in the hopes of developing the finger strength to make moves off them, this problem is going to be an epic siege and could take a while but I am deffo up for the challenge and I enjoyed being on it today. A frog came over to check out proceedings and posed for a photo and the smelly goats were out in force ...
... no sends today, but Glendaloughs grading is harsh and problems tough so I'm not expecting to get one every day I go down, good fun and a good work session was had, happy climbing folks !!
