Tash's friend, who's staying with us for a few days, arrived here last night so today we headed back over to Margalef with her. It was a little bit cooler thanks to a nice gentle breeze and the conditions were much better than yesterday. We started at the Chorreras sector for Helen to do a few of the nice tufa 5s and 6s, before moving round to Culample 4 again when it came into the shade. I warmed up putting the draws in 'Fanatic' (7a+) for Tash to have a go at - she worked out all the moves but got pretty pumped where it gets steeper at the top so left it for another day. I then did two amazing routes - some of the best I've done in Margalef - on perfect gently overhanging pocketed limestone (almost Ceuse quality!). The first was a pretty soft 7b+ called 'P.G.B' and the second 'Whiskey Compadre' (7c) - both AMAZING routes. After these I wanted to get on the 8a that I'd tried last week but there was a guy going bolt to bolt on it very slowly, so we went round the corner into the sunshine for Tash and Helen to do a few more routes, before going down to the lake for a BBQ :-)
