Climbing at Birchens..

Darren Saxton and I visited Birchen Edge today along with Emma, Linda, Karen, Dawn, Vince, Nathan and Jack.

This group of friends had varying climbing experience, with some making their first ascents on the rock to others learning to lead. Birchen Edge was an obvious choice with plenty of varied routes.

Despite a poor forecast the weather was fine today with heavy rain showers only arriving late in the day. With North Easterly winds forecast tomorrow it will feel cooler on the edges with the possibility of some showers for the Eastern Edges..
