Decided at 6.10am that it was a bit too snowy & icy to head over to the lakes as planned so opted for a later start and a look up the woods.
It was certainly still cold and snowy on the side roads as we got to the parking spot. Quite a few cars were parked up so we expected the crag to be fairly busy but we were surprised to find only 3 people on the rock, the other cars being from folk out with their dogs.
Another pair turned up just after we got there, giving a total of 7 climbers. Unusual as it was certainly cold but dry and perfect friction!!
Managed a few of the classics before soft skin and numb toes got the better of me!
Swan Wall Direct
Pink Gin
Red Rum sit start
The Elf Direct
Bad Finger
Bad Company
Monty Python
Ali managed a longstanding project in Bad Finger, then got on to Bad Company and made good progress before the cold stopped play!
Paul and Joanne were working the moves of Cubbys then moved on for a quick burn on Monty Python before heading back. Paul was very close and will get the tick next visit I'm sure.
This way to the crags!!
Perfect conditions.
