Pot Hole climbing

Crag: Pot Hole Quarry
Routes: Mango (HS 4a:sh), Chutney (VS 5a:sh), Owl Wall (HS 4a:sh), Epitaph (HVS 5b:sh), Horn Dog (HVS 5a:sh)
A very early, very brief trip to Pot Hole for some shunted routes. A worthwhile workout, though, didn't feel too tired after last night's race although the humidity didn't help with the polished limestone. Mango is a good line up a positive crack, and Chutney was refreshingly unpolished - good, crisp moves and a good steep finish. Avoided the big holds on Owl Wall, and downclimbed it too. I remembered Epitaph from a previous ascent many years ago: slightly disjointed with only one or two hard moves left of the arete. Horn Dog takes a superdirect and photogenic line up the arete. Good, surprisingly independent climbing on small, sharp holds straddling the arete. Just a bit short. Finished with a brief recovery jog.
