Notes

A lot harder than I remember. James head was not in it and turned back part way through Bosche, leaving me and Chris to carry on alone. Bosche was not too hard, though it took some time for me to figure out how to get my leg through. We headed down University challange and there was some very dodgey shallow flakes that did not fill us with confidence, neither did some of the traverses and slides down the narrow rift which opens out to large drops. We wondered how easy it would be to return. Eventually we got to the last pitch but could not get down it as James had the rope, it certainly did not look free-climbable. I had a bit of an epic getting off the 2nd pitch despite removing my oversuit, but eventually did it. Bosch was annoying but was far easier in my book.
