Mid-week bouldering post

Me and Brandon got up at 4:50 am, we attempted to get to The Plantation for 8:15 so we could take advantage of the friction. Didn't go to plan really, the train delayed and we ended up getting a bus from Sheffield, as we missed the connecting train from Sheffield to Hathersage. As we got close to the crag it started raining, so we layed in a bush for a short while. Walked to the public toilets nearer to the crag and it started raining again, so we stayed in the toilet for a while.

The Rock was wet, we spent ages waiting. Eventually i got warmed up on the semi-dry rock and then flash-repeated a classic Font 6c. I got super close on Captain Hook, but then it started drizzling. We walked to a Font 7a+ arete on Stanage, then it dried up, nearly got that in a few goes but we wanted to move onto Stanage far right. I on-sighted 'Almost A Hold' - Font 6c+ and OS soloed 'The real 20ft Crack' Which is hard when you layback it rather than jam it! I OS soloed another HVS 5c - Easy Walling, I did a sit start to this and claimed it as a font 6b/6b+ boulder problem. I also did a new line that is a bit of an eliminate but still hard/fun. It breaks of a route called 'sleasy jamming' and goes left onto a blank wall, there is a small flake that can be used. There is a chance it has been climbed before but from judging by the rock and line it looks like i may have been the first to do this eliminate line, so at the moment its name is - Liams Sleasy Eliminate - Font 6c. In the end it was a good day, shouldn't have got up so early though as it was wet for the first part, but ah well.
