That Yo Yo stuff

An up and down couple of weeks.  Sessions at Shepherds, trials by Twistleton, hard going at Harrogate, and finally sorted and solid at Upper Scout.  After the comeback at Brown Slabs on the Monday, had a good session with CB at Harrogate on Thursday.  NB out of the loop in deepest Devon.
Today's Go-To climber leading on Supreme White (S)


More to come.  On Friday pushed the MR2 out and tripped over to Twistleton with the Gman and BP, found myself well and truly spanked by some new routes in the bay right of the main wall.  Some seriously outdated gradings, couldn't start a Vdiff.  Then got three moves up a so called severe before the gibbers set in. Yo Yo stuff. Each time sent for the day's go-to climber (BP) who promptly popped up both routes, so we left most of the rest of the day's leads to him, although recovered a bit of warriorself on the last two routes.
Then Wed 23rd May saw us (AT,PMcG) out west at Upper and Lower Scout Crag - much more amenable!  Proper Vdiffs and a very enjoyable day.

Finished off with a route on Lower Scout Crag.  Marvellous.
