Rasberry Ripple

It was Dan and Kat's last day in the Fort. It was suppose to be a bad weather day as well however the weather stayed clear and dry all day. Dan and Kat headed up The Long Reach(E1 5b****) while Bridget and I headed up Rasberry Ripple(HVS 5a*). This was only three pitches long so we managed to get Spartan Slab in as well.

It was supposed to be raining.

Bridget seconding Spartan Slab

Spartan Slab's Crux pitch has changed completely since I last did it. It is way more difficult and much harder than the grade it goes at. After topping out the midgies attacked in full force, not good.
