Scot Crags All Stars

 Sunday 15th October

Third day of glorious starlight nights and blue sky days in a row, simply had to some sort of outside excursion.  A quick confab and set up a visit to sun soaked walls and corners of;

Scot Crags, Scugdale

BP midway up Romulus after CB's opening lead.

Group under supervision next door

BP watches the birdie on the delightful Woodpecker Wall.

Two more stars ticked off.  

CB follows making use of some techniques from the toolbox.

Plenty more where they came from.

Whilst we are in the neighbourhood there are more stars to collect on adjacent routes.

AT on Wolf Wall - a long reach comes in handy and the red BD cam pops in just right

L - Woodpecker Wall

R - Romulus

CB Defying Gravity.

Further up it was quite dusty and friction rather hard to find

BP at the same spot from the other side

From here a handrail leads right to a reachy skittery finish

OK to second but a very precarious lead.

CB seconds BP's lead on Drunken Buttress

Hangover at VS4c is all about getting out of bed and off the ground.

AT nails the opening moves on the next lead.

The red friend takes care of the finish up the jamming crack.

Memo from CB 

The wire in the break by the knee needs to be a 6 or 7 for best results

BP romps out 

An archetypal Autumn day on the moors

CB on Pet's Corner Arete

AT comes up third 

Something seems amusing.

Couldn't have been AT's Paper Bag Kid joke then.

Another classic added to the afternoon's best of Scot Crags

BP clips the bomber friend in the top break.

It's that Red BD again!

Video below best watched in full screen, BP makes it all look so simple.

AT bringing CB up route number nine - Pups Climb

A stupendous star studded afternoon session in the very best  Autumn conditions.
