Foolin' and Drytoolin'

White Goods, mud included.

With Morocco looming and winter no where to be seen Craig and I hit the rock (and mud) of White Goods near Rutin. Having been before I was the lucky soul to lead the first route (Adams (they made me) M5) to rig a rope so we could top rope the other routes on the next lower off.

Due to an increase in my tool box since last time I had been, I was able to remove the Adze and Hammer from my Quarks which lightend the tools slightly but more importantly also gave piece of mind that if a hook blew there was less on the back of the axes ruin my face.

After an ace afternoon skittling up and down Adams, Apple and And Pears Craig and my forearms told us it was time to call it a day. Thankfully we still had time to play spot the crampon at the bottom of the Crag.

Spot the crampons?

As for tomorrow, better conditions in the mountains are luring us. So we will be doing a bit of bit of moving together practice on Y Garn ridge.
