Melon Beach

Went back downstairs with sausage today and ticked my project link up first RP. Felt great on it today, still strong on Mussel Beach when i got there and didn't get that pumped which was encouraging after the previous days efforts. Thats the beauty of getting fitter, you see gains quickly! This is a brilliant link up route, taking in some amazing ground. Very crimpy hard start then a burly finish with a decent rest in the middle. I've wanted to do this for years. The better finish would be continuing up the final Parasite headwall but i'll leave this for Pete or Dyer if they can be arsed. The grade is hard 8a+, very nice. Some shots:






Sausage had a redpoint of Pas De Deux but felt too tired:
