After much deliberation and weather watching, Stanage North was the final venue for Sundays climbing meet. 7 people, 2 bouldering mats and 1 dog set off from a wet damp Clitheroe car park (with hindsight an 8:30 meet was possibly a little early).

On arriving at Hathersage (still wet and damp) we decide to partake in a cuppa at Outside and wait for the sun to come out.

Luckily (for Linda) the sun arrived and we headed to the High Neb car park at Stanage. The 'boys' (Michael and John - new member) headed off and did Quietus (E2 5C) on High Neb and with their bouldering mats did the high ball Crescent Arete at Not To Be Taken Away, then worked hard on The Green Traverse at Plantation (with prior instructions not to be late for the return journey!)

Linda, Dave and Peter had their eyes on Crow Chin, whilst Tony and Amanda fancied a look at Incursion on End Slab. However once we all reached the latter we found it was horridly green/unattractive and decided to head back to Crow Chin, where the 5 of us spent a pleasant afternoon, although the wind at the top of the climbs was far from pleasant. Linda's favorite was Bent Crack, HVD (10 points go to Dave who was the only climber who didn't use his knees on this route). Tony preferred to do a little soloing plus the VS and HVS of Spring Sunshine and Perforation. Amanda loved the challenge of being back on grit (!).
We all headed off home around 5pm (yes Anne before dark!) in time for tea."
