Bouldering up north

Well despite the horrible rain, I did manage to get an hour or so outside at the newly redeveloped Craig y Longrdige, woo! it was pretty darn wet but because of the overhanging nature of the crag it was still possible to climb when it is pissing it down all around it! pleased to say I must be getting at least a little less awful as managed to send 7a a V3 6a problem that I have been working on for quite a while! its says in the guide to do a tricky undercut, instead all I could manage was a stupid dyno to the top! but at least that went down, unfortunatley my super obssessed project of Ascent of Man still alludes me, its is supposedly a V3 and thus should be within my capacity to climb, but it seems so far impossible, and I have yet to start on the actual traverse! just trying to ascend Jacobs Ladder that is needed to get to the traverse seems really really diffcult. Additionally I have the problem of height, being 4 metres without a mat was pretty painful when I was lobbing off the top trying the reverse of the route. Right I think I will have to have a very conclusive look at it tommorow, there must be some hidden hold that will get me at least up to traverse, there must be!
