Spectacularly unsuccessful Wintour's session last night. We'd settled on a 2-pitch E3 that Paul needed to do for his guide book work. As I got to the belay (off route, as it turned out) the heavens opened, and slabby, smooth limestone and water is not conducive to climbing, really. I abbed off from the peg and a #1 wallnut. Slog back up, rig abseil from top, send Paul down to retrieve left gear, and retreat to a nearby public house to dry off. At least my recent Crux sack proved nicely waterproof.
Leaving for Pembroke tonight, hopefully. Staying at the St Petrox camp site this time. Cricket's running currently at 235-4.
