Conditions at Chee Dale Two Tier and Embankment yesterday were great.  I was feeling pretty good and so decided to go for an onsight attempt at Quality Control (7a), the start was quite bouldery up to a pretty good rest then easier but fairly sustained to the top.  I got through the start ok but by the time I got to the rest I was well and truely flash pumped!  Thankfully one of the main things that I have been training at the moment is recovery and shaking out on small holds, after a few minute at the rest I felt strong again and cruised up the upper wall to the chains!

After this I tried a pretty tough 7b+ I managed all the moves apart from the hard bouldery crux.  The crux should go in slightly cooler conditions as a few of the holds were pretty slopey, after the start I managed to link the route to the top.

Am super psyched to keen on training and to start ticking some bigger numbers!
