Climbing (Trad) 1:00:00 [3]
Trad climbing in Avon, sun came out, with Dom G.
Lovely warmup HS 4b, sunny spot, high above traffic.
then a "VS" which was a sandbag right from the off. A lot of issues, i wont' elaborate, but I've had better days & easier times on a route. I also feel I've used up a life (I assume I'm a cat & the nine are going down now). at 2 points, had a hold snapped, I would likely have died. (elsewhere, a hold did snap, & yesterday, bouldering, a foothold snapped. It's common)
Still. Made it. Hmmm. Do i want a hobby for which failure can mean death or serious injury? Not sure. But i love it. there are safer options...... eg. climbing walls. Oh hang on - they're SHUT.
