I’m very excited.
I decided that tonight was a good night to start working Ben’s Roof. I’d fondled the holds previously. Keith Sharples had shown me his sequence and I had my usual memory on the beta (forgotten the lot). I tried ‘Too Hard for Mark Leach’ after warming up on pinches wall for a while. So the end of the problem was ok.
After about an hour and a half I’d worked out all the moves, with some helpful suggestions from a strong guy and Pete Jeffery. The main move that was hit and miss was the toe hook to come round to the end – my foot kept slipping. I was stunned 3 goes later from the start to be making a second adjustment to the toe hook, making it stick and desperately dragging myself round the corner. Strong guy (sorry for the lack of name) suggested I get the jug not the crack thankfully and I was grunting to the top. Happy, happy, happy.
Tea time.
