Diet Pepsi V3Decided to follow the climber stone circles guide around Crookrise today. Very poor day’s climbing and disappointed in my performance. Turned up and warmed up on the twilight zone slab. Then headed for a classic V3 called diet pepsi. After a bit of falling off I managed the opening sequence but then couldn’t finish it. Got my hands all confused on the finishing flake and the top out holds were damp. I had to turn away defeated by a V3 after at least 45 minutes of attempts.
Next I headed to the Everest boulder to attempt Ron’s Crack V6 and the overhanging arête/prow next to it V5. Both spat me off and after an hour of skin trashing attempts. The moves were really burly and power sapping. I left defeated and headed for the Hovis area.
No joy at the Hovis area with another V3 not letting me in. This time the Crease Direct. Just couldn’t get the sequence to work to reach the big pocket. Harsh! I decided to leave completely deflated and pissed off . A real shame as the place seems really cool. I’ll have to go back to get these problems done.
