I love the smell of Evolv in the evening..

Tonight we hit the wall. N and I were, again, appallingly bad but both managed a grade harder than we did last week which is um.... promising. However I have to admit that we also both  failed miserably on a pink route. Pink! of all things. I mean if you're going to fail on a route on an indoor wall, at least let it be stone or grey or those weird swirly green and red ones that make my eyes go funny. Pink is like just saying 'yeah, I failed on a girls route'.


But the big news of tonight is that James, who screamed the place down last week while roped up, has come out as a Boulderer. After initial tantrum and begging on hands and knees 'pleeeeease mummy and daddy, noooooooooooo' - at which point the WHOLE wall looked at us like we were trying to kill him - we took off his helmet and harness. It was at this point that he shot off towards the warm up board and began to work his new project. NB Yes I know all parents think their child is ace and equally any non-parents reading this will think' oh lord, another smug parent'.

Anyhoo hurrah! Thats one less that Trad has claimed and one less pair of red ramblers socks I have to wash :) Now if I can just convince N to ditch his harness, I can get back to bouldering :)
