The Root of Inequity
7a+ Sport at Brean Down
Pretty easy, reasonable route. Little bit bouldery, but not much to it.

Clashing Socks
7b Sport at Brean Down
Glad to get this within a year of trying it! I think this is technically my 4th session on it after falling with the final draw clipped on my first go, and then poor conditions and the most part of a year getting in the way. First go, first route today, great conditions felt very easy.

Get That Man
7a Sport at Cheddar Gorge
This gets 7a+ on UKC! I mean it's hard but it's not that hard. I managed to punt my way up it 3rd go of the day due to some truely appalling climbing. Had a play on Draggin' Along after, but its a long way off. Unfortunatly meant Ian didn't have enough time to redpoint it which was a shame, but then he did oversleep and drive us to Wales, which I think I'm only 15% to blame for, so what can you do. Next time! Oh, and Get That Man was pretty good I think!

House Burning Down
7b+ Sport at Cheddar Gorge
The best and hardest route I've climbed. Finally climbed well on it, finally felt easy. Did not use Ian's knee bar rest. If you go to Cheddar, climb this route.

A Brutal Equation
7a Sport at Dancing Ledge
Probably the most attempts at a 7a I've needed! Got this just as the light was going, after an almost full length fall from the top holds on the penultimate attempt.

Exuberance
7a Sport at Winspit Quarry
I went right at the top because the route seems to kink this way in the guide book. This way seems more obvious, but is probably a bit easier then the left hand variation. Not really good enough to repeat other version.

7a Sport at Winspit Quarry
Brilliant, 3rd go. Great route, so glad to get this on last try of the day. Guide book claims this is sustained, but actually there are loads of good almost no hands rests. Awesome varied climbing.

Finally, long time coming! Thought it was quite hard when tired, but not when a bit fresher! Still hard 7a+, harder then All Hands to the Pump.

This is not 7b. Hard to on-sight perhaps, but its soft 7a+ if its even 7a+. Really nice sequence though!

7a Sport at Cheddar Gorge
This might be the easiest thing I've done in my life. Its very, very soft. But I can't resist the points. Also, its not very good. Has maybe two worthwhile moves in 25m.

Very pleased to get this finally, been working on it for a while. First time I tried it couldn't get off the floor, so great to finally do! Its actually a brilliant route despite the polish.

Quite easy when you know how but my sequence involved a throw to a hold you had to know was there. No hard moves.

The Minstrel
7a+ Sport at Cheddar Gorge
Spent way too long on this. Took far more goes then it should have and meant I failed on harder better routes. To be honest this isn't very good, but I wanted to finish it because it has one move on it that I found really hard.
