Staff Training

Me and Kat seconding Dan on Kipling Groove
After last weeks residential Dan had planned for an office and training week. So today was the start of some staff training, which is code for craging. We met up with a Kat and headed out to Gimmer Crag.
Where Dan was on form making short work of an exceedingly good climb, Kipling Groove (HVS 4c,5a***). He then proceeded to romp up Whit's End Direct (E1 5b*) and Spring Bank (E2 5c**). Kat then took the first pitch on Gimmer String (E1 4c, 4c, 5b***), I took the second pitch and made a right dogs dinner of it.
We then went round to climb The Crack (VS 4c,4c,4c***) another classic. During this climb it became obvious that I seem to have lost my leading head because 4c's felt way too hard. It just means I need to get back into training.
