Wednesday 16th September: Witches Quarry




Tony leads Hellhounds on My Trail
With the nights drawing in we needed somewhere close to home so we could maximise climbing time. Hence, Witches Quarry. Tony, Anne and Ken were able to get away early and get a couple of routes done before the rest arrived.

Hellhounds on My trail proved tough at VS. Familiar's Fall next and we all learnt that it's not that bad if you do it the right way.

Soon Peter and Linda arrived and joined in with the fun.

The Crucible next and later Ken fell off Black Mass but reached the top by adopting some 'french free' tactics.
It was a lovely evening and we benefitted from Witches being NW facing, so it catches the evening sun.

The views from the top of the crag are always superb
