Pot Hole climbing

Crag: Pot Hole Quarry
Routes: Murren (HS 4b:TR), The Watzmann (VS 4b:TR), Unaided (VS 4b:TR), Major (HVS 5a:TR), Vetta (E1 5a:TR), The Dog (HVS 5b:TR)
So very mild at present that it seemed worthwhile getting out for a couple of hours exercise to keep the climbing ticking over. Unsurprisingly, I've lost a lot of forearm strength over recent months, so this was a good reminder to do something about it! Vic and Mick were already at the crag when I arrived mid-afternoon. I've been climbing here for at least 22 years, and the routes are so horribly polished now that top-roping seems excusable. Nipped up and down a few of the VSs, and enjoyed the crisp footwork on Major before beginning to lose strength alarmingly quickly on old favourite Vetta. Lunged my way clumsily to the top before doing the same on The Dog: all a bit discouraging. Just a short run today after the full Famau run with headtorches last night. Will try for a brisk 10-11 miler tomorrow to get the holiday fortnight mileage up as close as I can to Peter's magic 100 mile target.
