This week's window opens early. Party of three gets out of the brisk north westerlies and with a good chance of some rays at this year's
Go-To Gritstone venue:-
Yarncliffe Quarry
In a bit of a quarry quandary but Yarncliffe gets the vote over the neighbouring Lawrencefield to take advantage of the ongoing dry conditions while they last.
BP well wrapped up on Latecomer.
Maybe a bit too early, sun not round yet.
All a bit dusty
AT on the small holds low down on Ant's Wall
Much cleaner
Good climbing on positive edges
DC follows in fine style
BP keeps going to get good gear on the LH start of Cardinal's Arete
Undercut hold provides the key to progress up the route
BP phones for a friend then commits to the run out climax
No more gear from here, some bold moves lead to a steady finish
AT returns to Cardinal Slab
Scene of a rather disappointing effort in July
Hmmmm

Crux moves
Small holds, feels precarious
Inside foot makes the good hold next to a size 1/2 wire
DC said it was a stopper so that's ok then.
More good moves and it's done!!
BP opts for another grapple with Zapple
Ready for a big reach across to the main crack line
BP makes it look quite a bit easier second time round
AT doesn't......
Thanks to DC for extra pics
