Thursday 28th May Anglezarke

Golden Tower, Anglezarke

Well the Doubting Thomases who thought it would be chilly, windy, and might even rain this evening were proved wrong. Or perhaps they got lost en-route; Anglezarke seems to be a tricky crag to find. Either way it was a pity to miss out. Golden Tower glowed in the sun, but having no E-leaders among us we teamed up to climb the routes to its right. The Finger proved to be a 'finger of fun', requiring gymnastics not usually found on a 4b route, and Samarkand was pretty tough for a VS, though worth its three stars. These routes and more provided a solid evening's entertainment and once again it was dark as we picked our way through the luxurious undergrowth in the base of the quarry and made our way back to the cars.
