Rest days. Don't bother with them.

I went to the local bouldering wall after school on friday where i didnt do much but i did like an arete problem which i have been trying on and off for ages. On Saturday i went to Climb Rochdale to try the leading ladder. i didnt climb too well on the comp routes. At the end on the session i dogged up a f7A and did surprisingly well. There was a bouldering comp on that i didnt know about (not that i entered it) where they were giving aawaay free posters and stickers. And finally on Sunday i arranged that Chris would pick liam and brandon up then come and get me from the train station. Then dirve us up to Burbage South. I did some good slabby bouldering here but the highlight of this part of the day has to be watching Alex honnold lead Parthian Shot (E9 6c). We then went back to the carpark to find that some pillock had blocked us in, however a kind woman moved her car to let us out so that we could get off to Higgar Tor. Here we parked as close as possible and just walked across the field to the cliff. The main wall is alot more overhanging than i expected. I tried to onsight Brillo (E1 5c) this was a bit optimistic but i would have rather done a hard well protected route as oppose to a easy but runout and dangerous route. In the end i couldnt do the crux. The best bit of this day was watching liam s**ting himself at the top of a 10m VS 4c when he didnt think he could do the move. All in all a great day out.

Thanks for the lift Chris.
