Return to The Great Outdoors

 April 21st

It's six months since the last day out.  Despite some fickle forecasting from the Metoffice, it looked like there may be a decent day east of the Pennines.    So AT, BP, CB (a.k.a The Three Body Problem)  picked up where they had left off  at the regular venue on Sunday October 15th last year.

Scot Crags Scugdale

Our Trio joins four groups already out at the crag, plenty of chat in between routes.

AT models new Mountain Equipment Ibex Pant design

Snazzy

BP clips another wire into Curtain Crack

Holly Tree Wall is well protected by one bombroof Wallnut at hip level in this picture.

CB on the rather friable finish on Oak Tree Wall.

BP steals a march on Saints Wall

Awkward start leads to very steady climbing.

Dainty feet finish off the third route in this area.

Moving along to Scot Buttress, AT on the favourite Corner Direct -Left.

Slightly precarious before jugs arrive to finish.

CB shapes up nicely on second.

CB rattled up Woodpecker Wall and BP picks out the pockets.

Romulus

BP finds out what the Romans ever did for us.

CB shows where it goes from there and moves up to finish in a fine position.

12 routes done, more than the rest of the teams put together it seems!
