Chudleigh Re-match

On Saturday Pete and I visited Chudleigh Rocks. I had a score to settle with 'Logic' E1 5b as I tried it last week but resorted to resting on the rope. This time though it went like a dream and was a great start to the day.

Pete's lead next and he chose 'White Edge', another E1 5b although as normal for Chudleigh it was quite tricky and relied solely on a couple of old pegs for protection! After a steep pull over a bulge and an exposed step on a slab the belay was reached.

I then led the second pitch which had some more dodgy peg protection and a short section of 5a/b before topping out in typical Chudleigh fashion:

To round the day off we also called at Saddle Tor on Dartmoor and I linked the very fine Hidden Traverse V4
