Peak Repeaters

Monday October 1st

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
