Ready, Steady, Crook

19th April - Easter Saturday
Making debut at;
Crookrise

Octopus (S) AT
Chockstone Crack (D) BP
Bilberry Crack Direct (VS4c TR)
Traverse and Crack (VD) AT
Long Climb (MVS 4b) BP
Arsenic Slab (S) AT
Rushlight (S) BP
The Flake (S) AT

Third day out in 8!

AT tries to warm legs, arms and everything else up on Octopus

Tricky finish through the niche

Unknown climber getting well stuck into the Long Climb MVS 4b

Moves mostly awkward, perverse and generally unnatural

By contrast, AT imbibes fine, open slab climbing on "Arsenic"

Bold start

and

similar finish......

More peerless rock, sky and climbing  on "Rushlight"

                                             Splendid walk out
