Côte du Brimham

29th July

Plenty of these and the like still abundant





Full team turn out for visit to exciting new (BP excepted) venue - Eastby over by Skipton.
Enjoyed a cup of coffee from the comfort of the car and a relaxed inspection of the main features of the crag - these being clearly visible despite the intervening drapes of disappointing drizzle.
So pressed the ALT-CRAG button and beamed down at...

Brimham Rocks
Conditions more amenable here.  Cubic Block given a thorough seeing to before moving on to the Lover's Leap Area and an assignation with Birch Tree Wall, finally a wander over to the far end of everything for some Fags and a banter with some boys from the Cleveland CMC.



New feature!!






Cubic capers


NB goes boldly on Old Corner....




PM follows up with some youthful moves

BP rocking up like a good-un


NB about to make the final thin moves as the sun switches on

Running out up the easy finishing ramp

Direct finish next time (on second....)


NB makes short work of a move that took AT a very long time to figure....




BP shows another shape from his bag of ballet tricks


NB smokes up Fag Slab



What - no tourists?





A mission
