Thursday 18th June: Witches' Quarry

Blog provided by Jenny, as Blogger Daykin was away in Scotland. The June meet traditionally meets up with a CMC walking group in the Assheton Arms at Downham afterwards, but Jenny fails to tell me if the climbers made 'last orders'!

Five climbers were at Witches' Quarry, in surprisingly cold weather for June. Mike started the evening off with Witch Bane HVS 5a, before moving down to Witchcraft Buttress with John. Bern invented his own hybrid of Thrutch and The Spell, then moved on to Spellbound HVS 5a. Jenny led her first on purpose VS, Thrutch - was very pleased with it and grateful for Bern's big cam for the top. The evening finished with some bouldering problems, eventually needing torchlight to find the footholds as we ran out of daylight!
