Aerobic Wall

On Friday Ellen and I visited Hound Tor on Dartmoor, we warmed up on a few boulder problems before I set up a top rope (controversial!) on Aerobic Wall, a short but very sharp E2 5c. After a couple of goes on the top rope I set out to lead it but whilst there didn't seem a particularly hard move on it, the route was very steep and 'pumpy' and making it to the top before my arms and fingers gave up was quite problematic! Eventually I led it on pre-placed gear but to improve on this style will take some doing, either a leap in stamina to place gear on lead or some serious bravery/stupidity to solo it ;)
