After 10 weeks of mostly perfect climbing weather, finally felt able to get out onto the rock. Given the prevailing constraints, CB's suggestion of a top roping session at a stake festooned venue only 40 minutes drive away sounded sensible in a social distancing kind of way. So it was out in separate cars over the other side to;
Windmore End
CB took charge of setting up the TR anchors, sticking to the far RH wall right of the stone wall at the arrival at the RH end. Three separate rigs used, 8 climbs in total (CB added two or three more) ranging from VD to 4c-5b. A good 2 hours or so including some fingery technical routes, quite pleased to get up most of them without resting on the rope. The new Jamming hands saw some action in the leaning crack of Sue (VS 4c) which was always a bit of a jibber on lead back in the day.
Glad we didn't start out here!
No problems keeping a goodly distance.

A fantastic setting, and very user friendly
Classic CB
Spirits lifted.
