Ketamine Foley

Was a lovely evening yesterday, if anything a bit on the warm side. When we arrived at the tor it seemed as though in an hour or so conditions would be really good, but I could tell it was a degree or so cooler than Saturday already - fingers seem to fit in the pockets better. Bimbled about, chatting to Rae and drinking coffee before getting started.

Masonic Dave taking it real easy and just mooching around waiting for it to cool down. Its practically impossible for me to contain my enthusiasm and theres no way I can be there and not climb. So I did, and he saved himself, which is almost certainly "the way".

Moved down to Staminahumps and fluffed first go. Third go was good but it was downhill from there. Progress is progress and it should be on for saturday. Dave did Strict Blueband on his first try (has done before) in good style. He looks very strong, and should have a good trip in switzerland. Ed looks amazingly strong but is thwarted by being a dwarf. James regains his inspiration and looks really quite like he might be able to do Blueband! I struggle.





I have to resort to drugging James with Ketamine, such is his enthusiasm.


















On the way home there is an amazing dark cloud of death, although it seems to bear no fruit.
