BMC International Sea Cliff Meet Day 1

Phew! What a day! I have been paired with Nimrod Nachmias from Israel. With the weather on the North coast looking iffy, we headed South to sunny St Loy, where I handed the ropes over to Nimrod. As he has climbed extensively in Wadi Rum in Jordan, he is used to 'trad' climbing and made short work of Cress Cendo, Chlorophyl Cluster and Monochrome Men. He then decided to have a look at Finesse, a very bold E4. Lets just say he did ok (a full body smear on the upper slab helped him over the crux!). We then headed over to Bosigran for the afternoon/evening and climbed Thin Wall Special and Bow Wall as the sun was setting. This has been the most extensive amount of hard climbing I have done in 10 years. 6 routes, 9 'E' points and sore arms! Everyone (60 climbers in all) said that it had been a fab day, with many of Cornwall's classic routes being done, from Diffs to E6. Bring on tomorrow.
