Sunday 8 July - Gowbarrow

Susan - HVS 5a **. With William Ripley.

Fucked up again. Can't climb cracks. Espeacially gay ones, which involve fist jamming and are damp and greasy. Looks a good route though. Failed at the crux halfway up, don't forget your cams up #4 and double up on #2.5-3.5. Don't bother bring any wires.

felt more Like E1 5b to me. Bloody scary without many cams- glad for the in-situ Wire and Chock stone.
