Breakfast: eggy toast - I like this so don't mind the repetition. A bit of bouldering. One tomato for lunch. Then tremendous climbing with George. A couple of multi pitch routes, plus I failed on a 6a. Pleased to say belaying (old school) worked: a hold got snapped off the final route. 25 degrees C in the tent now at 22:42. Today's routes: 4; 5b (Guzel Manzora) thence Gizmo: 4 5a 5c+. Last route called MPW (first ascentionist's initials I guess) good - fantastic airy traverse.

Day 10 Antalya
Up fairly early (8 am) - group of us went off to climb a 6c+; of course too hard for me, but nothing better to do, so I went along hoping I could get on a more reasonable route. Annoyed about a comment re. my belaying - too 'old school' apparently(!). Annoyed. Anyhow I climbed the start of the route okay - at least better than the others (Danny is better by a long chalk - but didn't climb it this morning).
