We also headed up to Araps on the weekend for the first time in a couple of months, and were suprised by how wintry it felt!
I was feeling a bit out of practice, so started off on "Social Comment" (13) on Death Row pinnacle. The first pitch - a neat little crack followed by a smeary traverse - was great. The second pitch was a bit scary though. I found that the gear was a little more run out than I was expecting. I wouldn't have minded a few more small wires. I then headed up "Swinging" (17) on Castle Crag, which is my first ever sport climb. I chickened out of the last bit a few times (downclimbing a couple of metres to a better rest) before finally gritting my teeth and motoring on up.
The highlight of Sunday was "Long Hair and Great Coats" (14) in Pharo's Gully. The most memorable part of that one is the grovelly squeeze behind the chockstone at the start.
