Pot Hole climbing

Crag: Pot Hole Quarry
Routes: Un-aided (VS 4b:TR), Grizzly (VS 4c:TR), Grizzly Eliminate (HVS 5a:TR), Major (HVS 5a:TR), Canine Meander (E2 5b:TR), The Dog (HVS 5b:TR), Right Wall (E2 5c:TR)
Another short outing, immediately after a long (2 hour) run. Just up and down a few old favourites for training purposes, with Vic and Hayley. The two eliminate style E2s - Canine Meander and Right Wall - nowadays give the best climbing here, as they are considerably less polished than the natural lines like The Dog and Major (which were polished when I started climbing them 25 years ago!). Nice little pockets, positive with good friction, make them feel much easier than the grade from a purely technical perspective (admittedly with rope above!). After our Spanish cragging trip, and the wall visits, I am getting some strength back, comfortable again on steeper rock and smaller holds: bodes well for summer.
