Thursday 6 August - Wilton 1

Well is was only nearly dark when we left, so no climbing by headtorch last Thursday.

Good climbing had by all.  Mike on Wombat Chimney and Lazy Friday, Jenny on Flywalk, Dave on 999 and Tony on Orange Peel and Cameo - plus multiple swapped seconds.

Dave leads 999

And Linda seconds stylishly and colourfully

Thursday 30th July

This being holiday time, we were only five (plus dog) for our regular climbing meet, but what we lacked in numbers we made up with age, guile, looks and enthusiasm.  Linda, Jenny, plus guest Charlie, Dave and Tony visited Woodcutter's Buttress at Giggleswick North.  We took kit for trad and sport but ended up spending an evening on bolts.  Means we can go back for the trad I guess.

A range of routes saw multiple ascents:
Stumpy 5c, Tong and Groove 6a, Debbie Direct 6a+, The Craftsman and Fellsman Revisited (both 6b+) and Retro-killer 6c.

We got in a full evening - arriving around 5pm and with the final ascent made by headtorch (like we said; enthusiasm).
