Thursday - works. Did all green and pink spots - didnt fall off. Started climbing with Dave musgrove on some pinks and did fall off but felt ok, and not too fat! Did a spot of campussing and felt a bit tired. Codfinger taped straight to prevent being able to hurt it - seems ok.
Saturday - TC down from Leeds. Head to turningstone and phone Jon for beta. Looks a bit like esoterica to be honest, but the climbing on the river of life is very good and certainly worth the drive. Worked a sequence, and TC came close but I think I was being gay and protecting the cod. Anyway, neither of us did it so we sacked it to Rubicon. Met two guys from Leeds we both knew and sat in the sun chatting for 20 mins - lovely. Sun shimmering off the water, and a nice cool breeze - perfect. Warmed up again, but felt tired. TC pulled on and did the press. I did the press. TC shuffled up to the low left start and did Tsunami sitter in total control! bastard! I reaquainted myself and got into the sidepull but felt tired. TC fell off low right press and then did low left! sacked it home. Good to be back at Rubicon and codfinger not too bad - will be back, and soon!

Nice pics of Kernow. Looks like you fully scored with the weather which is a result.
We are off there on thursday night for the easter weekend so well excited, and the sun should have its hat on too....
It doesnt sound like all the fine living has done you any harm if you are cranking on the Kudos wall. Seems that the limestone is fully in condition. I know some folk have been down to Cressbrook too, so plenty for us ot get our teeth into.
Went for a stroll around the edges yesterday. Felt hungover (whoops). Such a nice day and actually really warm out of the wind. Sought out JonBoys "Jetpack" at Froggatt which was a fun problem (although the sharp jug edge has left me with a blood blister). Then went to try "Rambeau", but the second sloper was slick in the sun and couldnt quite reach into the layaway/groove thing without fear of spamming off on my arse. Another (cooler) day for sure. Seems like a nice problem.
Will be heading to Stoney tonight for a workout. Still protecting a recovering split, so no Rubicon yet!
In Warwick tomoz for a meeting so wont be back till later and I might then go tot he foundry to get a campus session in. Resting Wednesday and "Zoo York" thursday before driving to the coast in the evening.
Off for a coffee.
OOoh - what time will you be at Caley on Thurs? I was thinking about climbing there in the afternoon...
How was Jetpack? I noticed it had aquired a new hold last time I had a look. The original went straight off two opposing low holds (one good, one shit) to the jug. The new hold is higher up and between the two. Used to be pretty stern at 7b, but looks easier now.
