DAMN! WRONG SHOES!!
This week saw the first summer weather! High pressure with sunny blue skies, the only thing missing was the warmth! I've even noticed trees are budding and have heard that some roses are blooming.
So, what do four slightly crazy rock climbers (Ian, Anna, Laetitia and Pete) do on the first days of the 'summer' rock climbing season?
Wow! Mid-summer weather in October. Ian, Anna, Pete, Laetitia, Terry and Vicky took the opportunity to find a south facing crag close to the road.
A few of us have just got back from Kalymnos, where we had a week's climbing and numerous dough-balls.
The weather turned out dry today - very different to the rain we thought had been forecast!
We wanted to go somewhere new today. So we settled for a trip to the granite outcrops of Eskdale. First on the hit list was Bell Stand.
We hoped for more of the amazing weather today, but alas, just as we turned into the Duddon Valley it started to rain. But there was no way that we weren't going to climb after the long drive to get there!
Having recently advanced to leading rock climbs, I think Dave enjoyed our visit to Black Crag to tick the ultra classic Troutdale Pinnacle.
Saturday saw us head up to Sergeant Crag Slabs for a bit of pre-Kalymnos practice.
