The past few weeks the temperatures have dropped below zero and the snow has settled down here in the south, meaning the southern sandstone has been in rare good condition for climbing. I have taken advantage of the conditions and spent some time trying some things I struggled with last year, Nicotine alley 7a, finger flow,7a, brenva assiss and I sent these quickly and was trying the harder lower line of nicotine alley getting 7a+, my left knee popped trying the upper line last year but being stronger this year my beta was different and found it easy. The lower crimps I managed to stick quite easy after I found a good left foot jam. I will send it from start on y next visit. I had a few good goes at Phasis, 7b+ and the 7c version. A great line but will need some more work. Aday trip to stanage plantation let me climb green traverse on my second try.
All all in all I am feeling stronger than ever and due to the new campus board I have built in the nursery I will only get stronger quicker.
A video of a rest day filming finger flow 7a at harrison rocks .. A problem I spent a lot of time on in my first year of climbing so I am pleased to climb this so fluent now.
