Rocking Out

 Monday April 3rd 2023


This said it all, and with a SSE breeze in the forecast, time to get the 2023 Rocky Horror Show out on the road.  Never much doubt about the optimum venue for a first time outing, with its peerless rock, inviting lines, and easy access, it's got to be;

Castle Rock of Triermain


AT all set to follow CB up the first route on the regular circuit.


The dazzling sun and azure sky disguise a perishing wind, but motivation remained high.


CB takes the direct finish on Lilith (HS)



Then AT opened this year's account with a steady lead up the corner in the shadow 

(Slab Climb HS4a)


On belay climb when ready!



Local team arrives.


Climber approaching the same point as CB above.



Then moves left to place gear 



 Before finishing up the left hand open scoop

Watched closely by partner on belay.


All very tidy.


RAF F-35 Lightnings gave us a wave

(not)


New bridge and gate


The old one was in a bad way






H&F rammed headed home via diversions past big stooshie on A66.

Beers at Briar!
