CB's last minute hiccup left three to invent a day out at
Stanage Edge
Weather rather too warm to get far into the E grades so found some great friction at a more moderate level. Plenty of people out at the crag, but our target buttress was pretty free so got straight into action just before noon.
After some debate BP get's the first lead on the books
NB follows BPs very tidy lead on Bishop's Route
More merriment follows on Robin Hood's something or other.
A big cam or two would have been handy on the lead, as it was three bongs and a sling was enough to keep the quivers away
Route finding not too difficult
NB shows willing in his scarlet shirt.....
Then makes a Bee line for a pleasant excursion
BP on Soft Shoe
Interesting and well protected
Ellis's Eliminate was tempting, but AT sets off on Right Twin Crack
Starts quite steady but toughens up
Perfect protection
NB polishes the session off with a nice Shuffle
Soft Shoe
Shuffle
Robin Hood's Right Hand Buttress Direct
Bishop's Route
Climber is on Inverted V (still there I imagine)
