The Madonna Manoeuvre

A quiet one, after the Inversion: The Teacher & Gilligan set up on GBW & BB and were soon joined by The Duke, Irish and Bigfoot.

Gilligan tried to explain the "Madonna manoeuvre" to get past the crux of BB, but The Teacher proved somewhat resistant to being taught. Irish went a little off-course, bypassing the crux on the right (the 3rd bolt made a good toe hold :-) but his perseverance paid off and he managed to reach the top. That seemed like a good place for him to have a conversation on his mobile phone – I don’t know where he got that idea from, Mel!

Gilligan climbed GBW a few times, and The Duke was pleased when he managed to reach the top of that climb for the first time. Irish also attempted GBW, but with less success.

Bigfoot worked on the start of GBW and managed to meet Gillagan’s challenge of getting more than 6ft off the ground, although just barely.
