no skin left!
Hey, hope ya had a good weekend! Mine was pretty intense with a boulder comp at the roxx on sat night then the hill on sunday.
The comp was ok, cool problems, but being a saturday cut into precious drinking time!haha.
Na it was pretty fun, got soo pumped and screwed my fingers for the hill. But it turned out to be a good day anyway.
We started off around the middle of quantum warming up, then headed over to try anthrax (V8), you pull on these two pockets, get a high step in and turn the left into an undercling, then reach right up to this small sidepull crimp, get your weight on it and grab a pinch, then a horn and pull round the arete, easy slab to finish. I managed to get it, with some helpful beta from the crew.
With not much skin intact, Thomas and I went to have some token attemps at some more problems near the caffine wall, then headed over to recover and watch Derek on angel. Got a cool photo of him pressing out the mantle:

We went for a wander around Dark Castle scouting future classic problems, but to no avail. So back to the project wall in quantum to finish up.
Another beautiful day, from the top of DC:
I jumped on snake eyes to see how it felt, but too warm and weak. Then onto Dismantle (V8) , which Lewis and I were trying last weekend. I got the key beta from Derek and desperatly sent it! You pull onto a sloping ledge, get a shitty smear with right foot, then lunge for a flat sloper, left foot on the ledge, and rock over. Its a really cool line!
So it was a pretty successful weekend for me, now onto recovery during the week!
have a good one

Nice one brother! Well done. We had a bitching day kayaking yesterday on Access 14 on the Tongariro River. Sunny day but the water was super cold. Plenty of carnage including Jo getting nailed in a rapid and taking a swim (she was sweet as - fast rescue from the crew). We were going to head up for a afternoon ski but the mountain weather was arse so we went out looking at a new river to kayak out the back of Mangakino (plenty of rock out that way too....)
