Back at Staple Edge with Mike and Tony. I was feeling confident until the plan was to repeat Tony's new E2 routes. E2 on Sandstone is something I haven't experienced and I was apprehensive about leading.
So I decided to gain confidence by seconding the routes while Tony lead them. Mike also seconding as he wasn't feeling strong enough to lead.
Lockdown breakout took some strong head game to make the move around the first arete and then cope with the sandy flat hand holds while making the Traverse.
