10:00 o'clock Start
John arrived at around 09:45, kit out and the gear is sunbathing on the rocks. One of the hottest days we've had.
A quick recount of our last training session and its onto foot work with a quick warm up on some nearby slabs. Ok, on with the harness and we are off up the (Staircase Mod 1star) to the right of Green Crack. leading off with John on second to find his feet on the first route. back down to ground and its lead time for John, quick rack change and John is soon into the first gear placement position. Moving on up with a second cam and a smooth top out,a nice lead.
Next we setup some anchors at the top and walked through the correct method of gear placement and equalising anchor points. Quick test and a spot off belaying from a ledge position. Next up was a simple abseil down the crag to get comfy with the exposure element, no issues here with a nice steady decent made by John. A great day out on the rock and a few more pieces in Johns toolbox of tricks.
