Bowden Doors - Grovel Groove S 4a **
I made a meal of this. There is a way of doing this without grovelling up the groove, using right hand holds above the groove, which I didn't find.

Bowden Doors - Guards Exit VD
Learnt a lot as I talked to Mike before and as I climbed, including a lovely cam in the roof. Nice route, used the exit on the right.

Bowden Doors - Canada Crack HVS 5a ***
Led beautifully by Mike. Very strenuous start and I couldn't get high enough to get the first wire out, but unclipped the rope (Mike later abbed down and extracted it). I made it half way along the hand ledge (120cm sling is best protection) but lost my feet and couldn't pull back up onto the climb. I think I could do second this route if fresh (one to go back for).

Slipped off at the bottom on first attempt, got it clean second attempt.
