Did not like map Bad distance judgement Time Lost: 00:45 | pace counted from road bend and ended up a little short in an unmapped reentrant. Spent a short time there before continuing to proper reentrant. |

Bad compass work Time Lost: 00:15 | Somehow pulled to the left and ended up too far down the spur. Saw how close I was to the road and went back up. |

Did not like map Time Lost: 00:50 | Didn't think I'd gone far enough, but I'd counted two reentrants and saw a building. Also lots of others going up the reentrant. Spent some time deciding to follow them. (although the control was there, I think it was misplaced and it was the wrong reentrant) |

Tired | More climb! By now I was being helped by having Gary Dolgin on my heels. It motivated me. Glad I attacked this from above. |

Bad route choice Time Lost: 00:05 | Went straight across the hillside. Would have been faster to stay below in the open and then climb at the end. |
