Mismanagement. Thats been the problem with me and lowrider. I kept thinking i was going to do it so I never stepped back and looked at the bigger picture. Because i kept nearly doing it, so I never took the time to work out why these goes to the end never amounted to anything.
You should be reading this nursing sore and thin fingertips. I'm not. Got called out saturday morning and had to spend three hours on an incident call, so missed my slot. Raced up to Stanage far end for about 1500, and got involved. Shot my bolt, warmed up too quickly and kept getting to the end but being a bit pumped and being unable to hold on. I think it might also have been condensing a bit too. Oh well. Worked out that my left leg has been getting stuck beneath the prow on the very last move, and that i need to move my hips right.
Meanwhile Ed does Brass Monkeys, and James gets close. Junior Hammertime has done Mecca! i think this is three 'days', but one of them he had no beta and was only on it 15 minutes, so two real days i guess. Well good effort, and is that quicker than Elie Chevieux? I have it in my head he might have been three days or something. Whatever, great effort Junior Hamertime!
Sunday, she's in a right pickle, so I clean and bake and do housey stuff. Oh, and the wood burner is blazin squad all day. M.i.n.t. Theres a time and place for a lazy day, and I dont think it would have been great on the rocks, so that was it.
Ned and I hatch plans to do Zoo York. I'm well keen. We talk about what else I would like to have on my list, and so far obvs there's LowRider. Then I would like to do the help the young sit. Then Full power. I like to have aspirations, and I think those are fairly realistic, but if i have learnt one thing in all my years of trying, its that having goals which arent just acheivable, but doable in a session is worth a lot. But we cant think of any 7c's.
Actually, since writing that I think of Pogles wood? whats that like? perfect day? Ben's wall. The reclimbed walk on by.... Your thoughts?!

Higher Ground at Gardoms. Had a brief play on this in the Spring. Needs a few pads/spotters.
Whitefinger and Kenny boy at Whitehouses, plenty of warm-ups there too.
Get ned to give you the vip tour of Rotherham!
Should have gathered the weak man's beta for Lowrider off me on day one you dozy mare! BTW the easy way to do the last move is with a heel on a sloper round the arete.
You want some quality 7b-7c targets do ya boy? All the following Peak ones have the gold stamp of excellence and are things I think you’d like: My Buddy the Apple, Domes SS, Brad’s Wall, The Gritstone Treaty, Andle Stone Wall and Mossatrocity. Columns at Five Clouds should deffo be on your list of harder ones.
That beta should read left heel around arete for last move
