Stump Man, M11

Things seems to start coming together. I had a very good weekend up at the White Goods with the company of youth Will Hardy. Saturday I felt a bit tired of my recent pull-up onslaughts, but after warming up a few laps on Jaz went over to have a go at "Stump man" M11, recently climbed by Tim Emmett. I had one previous go with Tim when I go about half way. Surprised I was went I tied in and sent the route first go, putting the draws in. It was a desperate battle, but I got the trophy at the end. The route is absolute mint, and it's loads of fun to climb it, specially the three rest, which is a bit of red-herring as to get out is really tricky and scary. Will also got his lead of Jaz so we were a happy team and went for the usual winner Bangladeshi curry in Ruthin (they are still laughing at Tim eating the strongest green chillies raw in front of them).

Sunday was almost even better as I felt totally on fire. One of those days were you feel totally tuned up. Did a few laps on Left Wall M6 to start with as I've never done it, and also some cleaning of some really big blocks on the route. Then went over to the cave and had a go at Finnish Start M10 and fell at the crux when the crucial hold broke. Figured out a new sequence and sent it next time, feeling totally fine. Then lower-off to strip it but then did it again straight away on top-rope. The had a few laps on lead on White Goods M8+ and another ascent of Left over Goods M9, and still had something left in the tank. So not bad for a weekend
