… back at Caley 9 days after getting lost and failing I was back on the ledge with Cef holding the ropes while Peri was gadding about with Dave and Roman in the ferns, 'nuff said. As a warm up Cef had made a fine, no fuss lead of Pedestal Wall (S 4a). This time armed with the right gear (until I dropped a quickdraw!) it all went ok and even felt quite easy, surprising what being fresh and knowing the moves does – Noonday Ridge (E1 5b – HVS with the extended nut runner).
We packed up and wandered back to the car, Cef going as far as to fall over and twist his ankle just to avoid carrying the rope. We found Peri and co bloddering about at the Adrenaline Rush area, but it was beer o'clock and they seemed more interested in the next tinny than the next problem. Some brief finger tip mashing attempts and we headed down hill, over the wall and home.
