Heat wave cooking all the crags up. Over ambitious plan to the Dovestones canned by an outbreak of common sense. BP's brainwave adopted gratefully - giving the potential for plenty to do with some sheltered climbing provided by the great NYM multicrag combo of;
The Wainstones and Ravens Scar
NB makes most of the shade on Wall and Ledge
No need to warm up
AT persuaded (with some difficulty) into throwing in some jams and shapes
Another good line
Small climb with a big feel
Can't say no to one of those
AT follows - clip here
NB can be viewed following there
Ling Buttress
Groove and Crack
NB sorts out the moves into the groove
Nearly gets an eye taken out by a recoiling #7 rock further up.
Dangerous sport this climbing business
AT gets an offset in on the Arete
Steep
Slopey finish tamed by hidden foothold
Final route on the 'Stones
No time to linger, all fully baked and ready for some shade over the other side
Forest Face
Great climbing
NB unties to conserve energies for pixels
BP makes some exploratory moves on Via Anna
Gets voted 4c in UKC
Gave it a good go. But a crucial hold too dirty - backed off.
Will need to come back with time to do some cleaning
Worth coming back for though
Airlift via the direct start
BP steps up into the light
Great climb at the grade

Chilled out
Spliffing drive home
Errr......
Hat makes comeback
