Diary: 9th August for 'Teappleby'

Outdoor climbing > Logbook

Ramshaw Rocks - Ramshaw Crack E4 6a ***
Great team scenes, loved trying this as a group. Got it 3rd go. 2nd go was a shambles as I jumped straight back on after my 1st, turns out you are actually tired from 4m of climbing! Did the non-invert grafting method, which was good fun if not as pretty. Favourite part was that the essential piece of kit was the flannel shirt that was past around to avoid the grit rash.

Roaches Upper Tier - The Sloth HVS 5a ***
Such a climb. The flakes bonged abit more than I expected.

Roaches Upper Tier - Black and Tans Variations HVS 5a *
Led p2 (which in hindsight was of black velvet) after remus lead the first pitch. Turns out climbing on a 20m hemp rope from amazon is more scary than soloing. Limited ourselves to 1 sling and 1 no.9 nut as well.
