Tuesday 18th July
Last day of the hot spell, domestic stuff getting in the way of a full day out so crow-barred in a half day at
Eastby Crag
Conditions considerably more benign than the abortive visit earlier in the year. All routes well starred - quality making up for quantity given the limited time.
BP gets started on the tricky transition round the roof on the classic Pillar Rib
An abundance of inviting cracks.
But getting a good placement proving surprisingly tricky.
Still plenty to do from here
The bold slab at VS P3 no gear best left alone in favour of the well protected left hand crack
The off width finish? No thanks.
Stepped across up the left hand ramp much more amenable
Some tempting (sh)apes in prospect
Interesting, varied climbing
The slabby middle section leads to a fine
jam-and-gear-fest
Still time left to pop up another 3 star classic - a contender for the best Yorkshire VDiff
Would be rude not to...
VS finish up the right ignored with a view getting to the pub in good time for the onward trip north
Killinghall to Winston driving sounds
