In reply to: Jake 's message, "Its all going down at Thorn!!" on Sun February 10, 2008 18:10:09 GMT

A few of us headed back up to Thorn today to finish of business started at the weekend...
First of all I managed to get meself up Bad Moon Rising without cocking up this time!!
Later Me and Chris were joined by Andi and Todd. A top rope was put down 'The Last Temptation' E6 6c, which Andi had worked at the weekend and after a few brief goes Andi was tying onto the sharp end. Due to the extremely strenuous nature of the route Andi (wisely) chose to preplace three bits of gear...the security of these was duly tested! Once first headpoint nerves were out of the way Andi climbed the route in impressive style...tres bon effort!!!
If this weather continues who knows what will happen...

Get yourselves on Doctor Shipmans Surgery Surgery it's awesome, not quite as technically hard as The Last Temptation but you need a longer neck, if you catch my drift.
