Thursday 25th June: Potscar

As we walked up to the crag it started to rain; heavy spots. And we'd all seen the forecast. But amazingly after five minutes or so of dithering the weather settled down again and stayed dry all night. Four of us set off late afternoon, and two more arrived after work.
Special mention for Tony who led Sunspot (E1 ***). Described by Rockfax as "bold and alluring" he obviously identified with the route straight away (though probably read it as bald). Even more Brownie-points for throwing the rope back down and patiently belaying two extra seconds up it. He followed it up with Long Black Veil (VS 4c) which is possibly harder - you can't always trust the guidebook grades.
Ken and Anne couldn't find any routes described as "thin and groovy", but managed six routes at VS or above, wrestled an abandoned Friend from a crack, and still found time for peanut butter sandwiches, so it wasn't a bad evening!

Tony is ready for anything
