After having the in-laws up for a few days and an easy walk around the fields and headland of St Bees, P and I decided to get out trad. climbing again, by not leaving the valley. We wondered up to Bell Stand, and had a good day ticking off routes. I cannot remember the last time I led anything on trad. so wasn’t expecting much at all, but hopped on the VS Plumbline and wondered up it with out any dramas. I have done it a couple of times before but it felt very easy this time. I very pleasantly surprised. P had a go at one of the E5’s which spat him off a couple of times. The rock seemed very slippy. Having had a real love hate relationship with trad. climbing I think I'm back in love with it.
