Gently does it...

A nice afternoon of climbing with R. We generally kept ourselves to easy stuff, although I made a pretty decent attempt at a 6b. R managed to get stuck on a route I'd completed and, when I attempted to repeat my success, I had no idea how I'd managed it — I think there was a dyno in the middle that I must have done without really considering it, only to mess it up on my second attempt when I was trying to think everything through.

On being superman...

Two übermenschen in conversation over tea — green and English breakfast respectively — and a cookie:

R:	It's nice to be the person people go to when they've got a difficult problem. It makes you feel like superman!
Me:	Maybe. But when it's all over and the problem's solved, you're still the one left standing there with your underpants on over your clothes...

And yes, for the record, I did wear my spandex t-shirt home from the quay. And yes, I did get blantantly and embarrasingly letched over on the way home...
