Siurana and changes to cake points…

We stayed at the Siurana campsite for a few days and caught up with some laundry and had some much needed good showers. Did a really good 7a+… Managed to flash it, but it was a real fight! Tried a potential 8a project, but the tiny, sharp crimps and hot sun were a bad combination. It has potential, but might need a re-visit on a cooler day!

Claire is climbing really well and has been consistently onsighting 6b’s and one 6b+. We’ve changed the cake points slightly and added the opportunity for both of us to gain one extra point if we onsight/flash one grade under our minimum grade. For example, before I only got points for onsighting/flashing or redpointing 7b. I now get one point for a 7a+ onsight/flash, but nothing for a redpoint. We made the change as we still felt a 7a+ onsight/flash (for me) or 6b onsight/flash (for Claire) deserved some cake.
