A great day today! I went to the Park after work and finished off Blood Money, the outstanding roof behind Sunspot.

I didn’t do nearly enough climbing this weekend but I did scrub some more new problems which I am very psyched upon. I also added a sit start to the Hobbit. I think this is a bit harder than its counterpart Riddles in the Park, and after some discussion with other climbers I am suggesting [...]
