Guides at play; Neist Point.
Francis, Gillian, Rich & I took the rare combination of fine weather & no work to climb together on Sunday. Not many pics I’m afraid but my aching body tells me I had a great workout. Francis & I did Security Risk, Wish You Were Here and Venture Capital. Gillian & Rich climbed Midas Touch, Gritstone Reminscence and Shocks ‘n’ Stares. Francis & Rich then both cleanly top-roped the bold and balancy All the Small Things, E5 6b, (http://www.ukclimbing.com/logbook/c.php?i=137044)
It criss-crosses the wall left of Venture Capital above the huge flake and was first led by Ali Fulton last year. Comparing the guys at the crux is an interesting study in body position.
Francis & Rich at the crux moves; staying in balance to reach the thin crack out to their right is very delicate

Almost forgot to mention the whale that Rich spotted and the golden eagles being mobbed by buzzards.
