Sun at Stoney Middleton..

It's been another great day in the Peak District today, with plenty of sun and a pleasant breeze.

Andy Lole and I decided to visit Stoney Middleton and were surprised to find it busy - more commonly you have the crag to yourself these days! There were lots of folk out climbing in the bays and on Windy Buttress.

We found a quieter section of the crag and climbed the classic 'Golden Gate' (HVS 5a,4c) and 'Bingo Wall' (E2 5b,4c). Bingo wall is particularly good despite having recently lost some holds. Luckly the character of the route remains unchanged, it's just a little more sustained at the grade...
