The Fast and The Furious

So it has came tae the time that I think I should get's this route done. The Fast and The Furious is a very good test piece, and tae be working it feel awesome.

I went doon tae Dunkeld last week where I bumped in tae Grieg Boswell, who was working the route again. He's climbed the route before and so he kindly gave me some very useful beta and encouragement. On my shot I got a little over halfway. At that point the next holes were blown, and so tae get past the big reachy move was tae make a very very big move. After resting the move was do-able, however, making that monster est move in a clean sweep from the start is a very different matter.

Yesterday I went doon tae Dunkeld with some friends. Feel confident that a few tries, I could have this route in the bag. But I was mistaken! They don't call it a test piece for nothing.

However I did have a good look around, and sorted oot what was needed tae complete the route. It turn's oot that this big move is the real problem. I'm in thinking that I don't want tae re-drill the hole. I'm liking that it is harder, an I'm going tae have tae make an effort tae complete it.

So what next? Today, rest/chill. This week, some more training (stamina) and with a good night's sleep before, and I will make another journey tae Dunkled.
