Saturday September 2nd
BP checked in with a window between one Riviera and another, what's more the weather turned up great on the same day, perfect conditions for a tour of the some of the classics at;
Scot Crags Scugdale
A bloke with his young daughter were just finishing off as we arrived towards midday. For the rest of the afternoon nobody else showed up, what's going on, where is everybody?
A few warm ups, then three routes in the Saints Wall bay. The alternate RH start on Saints Wall feels a bit tenuous. A spot of lunch then onwards and upwards.
BP leads out on Pets Corner
No sign of any lay off drop off in form
AT threads a way up Whippet Wall
Pup's Climb has good gear.
In the lower half.
BP runs it out to the next gear
Which arrives to take care of the final moves
AT invents a route up the RH side of Scugdale Chimney
A bit contrived, goes at maybe S4b with a powerful start
And borrows gear from the left hand side
BP points out a missed opportunity for a good wire in the short vertical crack on the RH face.
Next time !
BP
Next stop
Riviera!
