Nearly got my self in the shit
Nipped out for hour on the rock tonight to a cliff were I have a 6m highball boulder problem project. I had no intention of doing it because you need at least 2 mats 3 would be best. I did the other sensible stuff and then decided to play on the start of my project. Like I said its 6m high but was 8 today as the pebbles were low. A tricky start leads to a roof and a very long reach to an ok hold for your right-hand you have to commit to this then bring left around to join and crank . So I get up to the roof tonight and find myself reaching over the roof getting the hold and for a second was going to go for it. But thankfully a quick glance down to see my mat look very small and the pebble landing waiting for me if I went and blew it. I got my self back under the roof decided to check what the jump from here would be like ouch my bad ankle felt it ( I snapped my Achilles and ankle ) but hay it could have been worse tonight if I had gone for it. So Im of to borrow more mat's and get it done and hope more stones come back so its 6m not 8m.
