Grit Shit Innit

Apart from a few smeggy top ropes down Portland, I hadn't climbed anything on rock this year before a weekend jolly up to the Peak. So to no one's surprise I climbed like a sack of old turds. Here's a few photos from the trip...

The towering majesty of Birchen Edge

Cam soloing something easy

Good climbers make hard moves look easy, however shit climbers.....

Grovelling to the top

Cam on the same route, think it was VDiff, still felt hard

Cam thrashing up a jamming crack at Burbage

And another one

Easy soloing walls at Stanage

Classic David 'Snake Hips' Gainor high foot beta in action

Cam failing to jam his massive hand into a crack

Pat making an absolute Dogs Arse of April Crack

Me not doing much better on second

As does Cam

Me at the top of Robin Hoods Buttress, which thankfully isn't the gruesome struggle you expect from the deck

Cam fighting up Agony Crack

Pat having a go at Flying Buttress Direct

After time beyond human reckoning, and more tries than I could count, this was as far as he got, the massive wetty

So to make Pat feel better I get rescued off some sloping horror show called The Flange

3 gormless idiots at the top

Amazing sunset over the peak, good times
