At last! I managed a new 'problem' of sorts today. I've had this personal 'acid test' in Parasellas Cave (a.k.a. The Cave of Justice) for a fair while (a couple of years) now.

| Quick ascent of 'Snatch' V11 |
|
Decided to go for a drive a week or so ago, and ended up at the Plantation, Stanage, for a couple of hours. I had some unfinished business here, as I nearly flashed a V11 here last year, called 'Snatch', although split my tip wide open, and had to leave it!

 Well, Happy New Year! After all that cheese and port, I thought it would take some time to get back on track, although thanks to a bout of really bad flu, I think I shook the extra weight off!

ON Sunday, I managed to get the second ascent ofPaul Higginsons 2000 test piece 'Lo Lo' V12, at Porth Ysgo, North Wales. This was a good one for me. as I first looked at this line with Paul 8 years ago. At the time, development at 'Ysgo was pretty wild, with new lines going up every week. Once the initial pace slowed down, Paul stayed down here - almost the official guardian of the crag if you like, developing the harder lines. Lo Lo is, at present, the hardest line down at Porth Ysgo, and is worth every bit of the grade. It was very surreal for me to climb this, as I have thought about it alot over the last year or so, just waiting for the right time to go down and try it. I got the problem third go, which was good, as it eats skin! Once at the top, I had to watch the footage three times on camera before it finally sunk in!
Whats next for the new year? Who knows, but it could do with stopping with the rain!
