Wales 2-day roadtrip

o.k. how to you possibly have a roadtrip in two days?!?!

Well, you arrive on Friday night, go to LPT for a quick look (it's too late to climb). Then on Saturday, you go to LPT for the morning before the tide gets too high. You tick off a 6a and 7a+ in that time (Night Glue being the 7a+. Looks quality, Rob and Dave did it before the water was lapping at our feet).
Then you head back for some lunch, before heading to Dinbren. Do some 6c and +'s, then work a 7c (Flowers are for the Dead). Crimpy!!! I'll leave that till I've developed FoS (Fingers of Steel). Finish off with the fun Fire (7b), big undercuts: i.e. fun fun fun. Dave missed his clean ascent of ?? 7a+, unlucky. Rob ticked Fire also.
Then hit the road to Manchester to watch some atheltics races (Caroline was running). Miss the race after an epic 2-hour drive so watch some other races before retiring home for pasta & chicken (raw energy!) and some Tiger beers (on Rob's recommendation: good choice!). Realise we're after driving more than 200 miles in a day. Pass out early.

Off to Devils Gorge, Dave's local crag. Weird, dark, quarried little hole in the ground with some fun sports routes. Tick Echoes (7a+) as a warmup, and then fluff Grand Canyon (7b+) on redpoint. Muppet, I was cruising. It's all good though. Home for lunch, then off to LPT. tick another fun re-warmup route and then work moves on I've Been a Bad Bad Boy (7c (arguments over the grade seem to be the order of the day!). Bit too late and tired to give it a proper lash, there'll be another time. Dave works it also, looks enlightened after it. Home for more grub and to chill. Work for 11:30am on the Monday morning.

Don't feel stiff whatsoever today. Training is working. Just need more time on hard sports routes (nothing new there). Bring it on.

Updated: LPT is Lower Pen Trywn, in North Wales. Basically where a lot of the hardest sports climbs were put up in the mid-80's. All the crags mentioned above are North Wales!
