North Yorks Chill Out

Tuesday March 22nd

Scot Crags (Scugdale)
Unfortunately the forecast bright weather failed us this time.  Despite an ambient temperature of around 8 deg C Scot Crags felt quite parky.  Still - managed to get some momentum up in an effort to impress the gang of student engineers from Leeds University out for a spot of high-ball jinx (jolly fine chaps).  Not many pics as hands either climbing, belaying or in pockets.  Ten routes done, mostly 4a and above.




AT clips a nice high nut on Pup's Climb (HS 4b)





First gear goes in on Pets's Corner

Now VS 4b according to UKC






Two friends in before moving up the airy finish

Never disappoints - whatever the grade might be




PM (previously out of shot at the end of the rope)

Time to turn the heated seats up, and head for that nice log fire burning in the Crathorne Arms
