Broken Resolutions

It seems like, since I last blogged, huge swathes of time have been spent looking at a wet hold at the start of E-fix. Then trying Ebeneezer Goode despite knowing that said wet hold renders the problem unclimbable. Frustrating.
Having said that, I have also returned to Mytholm (host to previous adventures in DIY) and completed a new dyno there. Flight Path, 7C+. An ascent which I failed to video. G-bob has berated me for my video based forgetfulness and I have henceforth resolved to indulge in the filmic arts whilst climbing in a most reliable fashion, but more of this later...
I've also watched G-lah grow into an almost 7C crushing machine, there are now three or four 7C's out there that he can and will crush, just remember there is no spoon...
Anyway today I was back looking at a familiar damp hold, but this time with the Guru. A single attempt on Ebeneezer and I was convinced of its unviability. So instead I climbed (and entirely failed to film) the Ebeneezer start into Poison, huzzah. Probably 7C+ ish? I compensated for this failure at the first hurdle of my resolution to gather more footage by capturing in glorious technicolour the Guru effortlessly floating up Poison.
Now repeat after me, the camera is in the bag, the camera is in the bag, the camera is in the bag...
