Escalera Arabe – Suiza with Emma and a lovely Canadian called Lauren

I did wonder if I had bitten off more than I could chew with this one! a 4 pitch route graded at 6a with a 4 pitch ab to finish but although I was tired I was climbing well and up for it. We got the the bottom of the route but were delayed as there were two people on the route who turned out to be going slow and wanted us to wait while they abseiled down…..not sure why but we did. Went up the first pitch of Bombay sapphire while we waited. It was a hard route and we ended up getting up any which way!!! I don’t know how Emma managed the last two pitches they were so hard. I lead the first. We abseiled down by the light of the full moon. It was a truly glorious day. Tomorrow I rest.
