More problems at the Little Gap

This is only going to be a short post as I am shattered from a thirty minute campus session and now need to cook tea! I returned to the Little Gap today, this time with Owen Tweedie in tow to tick off a few more problems. Unfortunately, despite the good weather, the main section of the crag was still sopping wet and so once more we had to resort to the natural lines surrounding the crag. Owen ticked a new traverse problem on Traverse Wall called Rise Against (V1) which starts at the far left of the area and traverses until the start of Great-8. A link up (probably called Rise Against the Great-8) can be linked between the two at no change to the grade. 

Next Owen sent Plunder Economy on his third attempt and settled the grade at around V3. However I don't feel too bad as he couldn't do Loner after quite a few tries and the grade of that route has been upped to V4. Kleptocracy was also confirmed at the grade. Lastly a minor problem right of Plunder Economy was onsighted at an Easy V0, called Colonial Rule F.A Jamie Maddison 17/02/2009

There is still plenty of projects remaining, it just needs someone strong....
