Great day climbing today, though I got some bad sunburn.

I also had a bit of an incident on Spanish Flea... The top rope was too far to the right as I climbed, and got wedged behind a distant flake on an awkward move. I moved up a little to get into a position to free it, which created a lot of tension and it got stuck. I couldn't reach it, I couldn't traverse or downclimb. Because of the amount of slack on the rope caused by it getting caught, I didn't really fancy taking a big fall and so Allyc had to abseil down and free the rope. After some struggling rearranging the rope all the way up, I did manage to finish. Really quite stupid and embarrassing, but it's all part of the fun I suppose...
