Having seen Friday’s forecast for the weekend I decided to lay turf on Saturday and risk climbing on grit between the predicted showers on Sunday. Sunday dawned dry and bright so we headed off to Gardoms. Come 4 pm after several classic routes, sore fingers and weary arms brought our day to a close; not rain!
Awesome, welcome (as an author) to the blog Paul! π
Yeah, we got the gardening / climbing mix the wrong way round – we climbing in the rain on Saturday and finished the vegtable garden dry stone walling on Sunday. Doh! π
So, what route is that picture of? It looks steep and thin! π
Oooo-er….grit!
Where are all the holds?
I must get down there later in the year to remind myself what its all about!
Take in on blue…..
I heard you only had yellow ropes last weekend, and now you only have blue. Will it be red next weekend?
Who did you climb with?
The route is Moyers Buttress, the climber Clive Darlow, a climbing partner of 36 years standing. As for the colour of the rope wait and see!
Looks like my sort of climbing (but perhaps a little hard?). I’ll have to get out on to some grit soon.
Any takers for a rusty VS climber?
Did anyone hear about a 16 year old lad leading up Braille Trail.
