Battle of the Bulge

May 16th 2012
Local session - BP "on call"
Eight routes on the Wainstones circuit.
The usual suspects plus "The Bulge", now graded  VS 4c.
Moved decisively through the hand traverse, only to find I'd passed all prospects of gear - with still some rather precarious ground remaining.  Looked back and retro-fitted a small friend which helped dealing with the delicate moves to a solid nut and exit.  Phew!


BP sorting out gear for the awkward finishing moves on Ling Buttress (HS 4b)

Great views to the North and West

Enjoyed banter with some Aussie Coast to Coasters
