Sun in St Govan’s

Despite plenty of fog around this morning, we jumped in the car and headed west, and pretty much as soon as we reached Pembrokeshire, the the sun came out. Grand.

PJ warmed up on Space Cadet, a great E3 at St Govan’s, which is pretty soft touch so good for warming up. I seconded it but found it harder than I remember it being. So I promptly ignored the warning messages and got straight on Test Case, a not-so-easy E3. Greasy conditions saw me slip off a rest hold after the crux, and take a sizeable fall. Rats. I got back on and reached the top, but I shan’t pretend I wasn’t disappointed, I felt robbed.

After a short break, we abbed back down, and PJ, after looking briefly at the classic E5 crack, Get Some In, decided on the slightly easier No Man’s Land, E4 5c. It was a fantastic route, really steep, no particularly hard moves, but it kept coming at you!. Then I finished the day off with War Crime, an absolutely fantastic, juggy E2, which my cramping arms barely managed.

So a great day, but I’m already pretty exhausted, and but I’m not sure if I’m looking forward or dreading going back tomorrow!
