CB at the same move



CB gets gear on the top wall on St Ivel


Four good routes at this sector then on to the next buttress for the much anticipated lead on Elevator


Unfortunately AT's lift only went to the first floor.  Having placed the crucial gear returned to belay level and swapped leads.   CB presses the right buttons to  move on up.  AT follows in good order.  Next time......




CB in the mood

Coldstream Corner requires power, determination and technique.

Unfortunately AT lacking one or more of these ingredients so had to settle for a supper of Pedigree Chum.

Woof!

Still - brought the gear up for his master.


Conifer Direct used to be overwhelmed by the eponymous tree.

Now it sees the light and is a worthwhile route


Good to get another new one done
