Extreme Climbing in the Peak..

Sabrina, Sam, Sam and Ceri joined Darren Saxton and I for two days climbing over the weekend. The weather has been variable to say the least with heavy rain at times - similar to being sprayed with a high presure hose while climbing!

Despite this extreme challenge we visited Birchen's Edge, Lawrencefield and Millstone climbing a variety of routes from Diff to Severe.

Hopefully the heavy rain will give way to isolated showers this week. Again, the more sheltered venues of Stoney Middleton, Lawrencefield, New Mills Tors and Willersley will be a good bet..

  1. Despite the showers (erm torrential downpour!) we had some great climbing and this morning was beautiful! We're proud of scaling vdiff routes after just one day, and can't wait to come back for more! Thanks to James and Darren - patience and professional composure I'm sure was tested to the limit :)

  2. Thanks for your comment Sabrina. Maybe torrential downpour was more accurate..
