Tough times on the grit...

I was down in the Peak District for the weekend to visit family and do a couple of errands, but managed to squeeze in a great half days climbing with Toby on the gritstone.

A VS (can't remember the name)

The weather was okay, and I mean just okay.... it drizzled a little and was quite cold. We started at Gardoms Edge, which is always quiet (people wise), but alas a wee bit green and neglected.

We did 3 great routes which were all entertaining, finishing here by getting thrashed on a hard - HVS (well maybe it wasn't that hard but we both struggled). After this battle we needed salvation so tramped across the moor to Birchen Edge to climb 3 more, much cleaner (but very polished) routes. A successful trip back to the homeland....
