Whitestone Wash Out

 Tuesday 12 October

It's been on the list for a LONG TIME.  Finally committed to getting onto the classic "Nightwatch"  .  

(VS 4b or HS for the traditionalists)

"Packs a quality experience for the grade - quite exciting for a VS but with big jugs. Take plenty of slings and dust off those hexes."    (H Barrett UKC)

"Just fantastic. Adventurous feel, but surprisingly solid rock and loads of gear and holds, both inside and outside of the crack. Must do route"  (J Jones UKC)

With thanks



But this was the scene from the car as we approached





Grim


Drove 20 miles west to Slipstones.  Arrived at the same time as the rain.


Climbing aborted.
