Brad Pit

So Friday last week me and a friend went to Stanage, to try Brad Pit. I had wanted to try/do this problem for ages but never felt that I was good enough to try it. Anyway we had about an hour on it, it took me a fair few goes until I was on the slopers, and eventually was hitting the jug, I did get my hand actually on the jug at one point but was kind of swinging off as I hit it. My mate had two bleeding tips so we had to leave, I'm sure I would of done it that session if we had stayed. Me and Brandon went back on the Sunday, after getting warmed up, I then somehow managed to send it first go, which didnt feel real at all, its fair to say that I was abit disorientated about it, escpecially because Brandon joked with someone that we was guna try and flash it for a warm up, so it looked like I had flashed it. I reassured the guy that I had tried it before, and then asked him if he had a camera so he could take some photos and them email them to me, luckily he did. I mainly just wanted a photo on the crux posistion but I ended up doing the problem again without falling. I'm still waiting for him to email me them but I'm sure it will be within the next couple of days, or today. Brandon was still trying it at this point, it was his second session on it as well. Another guy, called James Jacobs came over and tried it with us, I then climbed it again without falling. Which did seem abit, strange, doing it 3 times in a row. so I didnt try it again becuase I didnt want to fall of it! haha. Its technically not very hard at all, its just, all psychological and technical, once you can find this certain position its fine. So yeah Brandon did end up doing it. I'l post the pictures the moment I get them. Oh If anyones wondering why Brandon has done Brass Monkeys and I haven't, its because I haven't tried it yet. And like Ben Moon said
''Brad Pit, I mean its hard but its not that hard, I could certainly climb something alot harder than that''
