Peak Scar

July 27th, 2011 by Simon C

After the last-minute dithering which the weather has made the norm this year, a depleted band of 4 ended up at Peak Scar.

Carmen decided on a repeat lead of Frenesi (VS 4c ***), which after one false start and an extended stay on the ledge below the crux, she managed with ease. Despite having previously onsighted the route, I managed to scare myself silly and fell off the crux, no doubt to the amusement of Gordon and Dave who were climbing Wings at the time.

In a vain attempt to salvage some self confidence, I finished the evening with a lead of Downbeat (VDiff) while Gordon looked on from Walkin' (Severe) next door.

A grey overcast evening but despite a brief attempt, the rain held off. Not the best evening's climbing of the year, but better than staying at home!
