Diary: 5th May for 'harold walmsley'
| Outdoor climbing > Trad |
 Lower Grugog Ribs8 hrs 45 mins, 1.30 miles (0.15 mile/hr, 403:52 per mile) Morning. Did all 4 lines on Magnetic Rib comfortably on the shunt although it took 2 warmup goes first on each of the two harder lines (Coulomb's Crack and Gauss's Groove) to get to that state. I found that I couldn't tell if I had placed the crucial first cams properly from the lead position on Gauss's Groove so I either need to use rock and rollers (they seemed to go in better but needs confirmation) or just practice it enough to do it without knowing whether the gear is OK.
