Good to get something done on the tenth anniversary of the Gunter Tapes. Apparently the NY Moors were formed during the Jurassic Age. Not that today's climbers could be mistaken for any kind of return of the dinosaurs at;
Scot Crags Scugdale
MT climbs into the dazzle of a glorious late summer morning
TM reaching out on the righteous route left of Saint's Wall.
Pet's Corner
TM keeps to a sporting line up the right side
The usual economy of style
Gravity Wall takes some great runners
Until it doesn't.....
The traverse left and moves up feel a little precarious. TM eyes up the good holds higher up.
AT makes old fashioned shapes on the uber-trad Gallileo's Gully
Left Corner Direct - One of Scot Crags' finest Severes
AT looks for the right friend. The minimal racking proved sadly lacking
Oh well, just have to step up and reach the big jug at the top then
Uncles at VS 4c is a tough proposition even on a top rope.
MT gets stuck in
TM makes it look relatively straightforward thus far
Moving into the crux on very tenuous holds
A long reach to a side pull feels quite out there though.
Hanging onto a poor hand hold.
Teetering on tenuous foot placements
Due to be disappointed by the left hand side pull
Before being beaten by the Bop Route
Works better up the left
