A couple of falls

sawylEnjoyable if somewhat sweltering afternoon of climbing. I made a second attempt at a really easy route that defeated me a a couple of weeks ago — with hindsight my failure was only really a matter of tiredness — as part of the warm-up before we shifted to doing some slightly more difficult stuff.
My favourite route of the afternoon was one that ran across the arch. I made a pretty decent attempt at it but misread the transition out of the roof section and took a fall which, thankfully, R managed to catch only picking up a minor graze in the process. After she seconded the first part of the route, we moved elsewhere and it was her turn to take a fall transitioning up an overhang. It was very nicely done and definitely the safest place on the route to fall — the section immediately above looked particularly unforgiving.
