| Vicious Streak (8A) | Pulling on is the hardest part. Nice compression moves. |

| Rift aversion (8A) | Hard to grade. I’m sure colder temps would make a big difference on this. Need to try the link |

| Crystal Method (7B+) | Climbed to the topout jug, then dropped off rather than clawing my way through a carpet of sodden moss and wet leaves. Good problem, shame most of Caley is going to ruin due to greenness and general filth. |

| The Groove (7A) | Great quick session before Silas' swimming. I wasn't sure about trying tonight but Max was on it and I joined him. Glad I did. Got it last go before I had to go. Top moves are absolutely out class. The move off the boss feels hard until it feels effortless. My new favourite slab at Caley. |

| blockbuster (7B) | Jump. Strong easterly blowing in 43% humidity this evening. It had to go. Tried on and off for years. I never committed to this and it always felt unlikely. The sloper felt terrible at the start of the session but power spots and encouragement from Dom helped. This felt hard to me tonight and resulted in a fight but it's the first time I have felt able to battle with it rather than just sliding off. Definitely Caley's answer to L'Aerodinamité. Why do some problems feel so important? This one means a lot. I just hope I can repeat it is less ideal conditions and it isn't a one time only thing. |

| High Fidelity (8B) | One of the best feelings I’ve had topping out a boulder. Thanks to the crew for all the pads and support. |

| Rift aversion (8A) | Nice one, and doesn’t take nearly the amount of foam you’d think. Totally fine with 3 pads and a topper. 8A I reckon. |

| The Waiting Line (7C) | Around a 7b+ highball with enough pads, climbs really well. |

| Banana Republic (8A) | Satisfying to do. Maybe cause you know how much skin each extra go takes. |

| OTZI (7C) | Great. Second session. Off two pads and using the arete over. The lip to top out à la Oli Parkinson. Need to go and do it properly with a spotter. Added to the Caley 7s circuit. |
