Zeppelin, pitch 5
El ChorroAbout a month late, but never mind. Nice trip to El Chorro, plenty of mileage, some harder routes, and plenty of relaxing due to a wet last couple of days.
And a fairly big epic on Zeppelin, an 11 pitch F6c+, which would have been fine if the hail/snow and rain had started at the top rather than with 5 pitches to go.. Much aid and shivering ensued..
