Sunset at Great Wanney on Sunday evening. Lovely afternoon, although I got stuck on "Boundary Corner" and had to down-climb... but discretion is the better part of valour, apparently! And I did log my 50th (successful!) climb of 2023. 😀👍

Approaching the top of "Wall and Crack", a 1-star, 12m Severe at Back Bowden. Excellent route, and some good protection before that nicely exposed move around the top of the arete. It's only taken me a month and two days to get back out on real rock!!

The rock was a little greasy from the rain that never quite went away and it was so windy it blew the camera over, but this was still some fun at Sheepstor

East Woodburn crag in from the bottom of "Old Ash Crack". Some might say, a good-value Diff! 😉

Second visit to East Woodburn this week! Another lead (rpt) of "Stilton", just before sunset... and it was about time for a cuppa! 😂

Great evening at East Woodburn, - it's a south-facing sandstone crag in Ridsdale. This is from the top of "Stilton", an 8m VDiff. 😎

Day two in the Peak District; Millstone. The fun Cioch Corner (S4a). The guy on the route to the left is on Dexterity (E15b possiby sandbagged), which I dogged horrendously to successfully prove I only MOSTLY suck at hand jamming

Couple of snaps from day one of a great two-day Peak District trip with a great climbing partner. Froggatt Edge was cool. Shown; Turret Crack (HS4b according to Rockfax, S4a according to BMC... think the BMC fibbed). Fave route at Froggatt; Terrace Crack (HS4b)

Perfectly timed climb at Peel Crag yesterday, in the shadow of Hadrian's Wall. Came *so* close to losing a nut into a deep flake (kindly rescued by Tom, who abseiled for it!) and then came even closer to being caught in a spectacular downpour!! Lovely afternoon. 😎

Great night up at "Simonside North", near Rothbury, and five more 'ticks'. Great Chimney was a fun lead, well deserved 3-star route! 😎

"Sunset" at sunset! 😎 This particular sunset being a 3-star 24m (S) at Peel Crag with the guide suggesting: "thought by some to be the best Severe between Hadrian's Wall and the border".

Approaching the top of "Apollo" at Peel Crag. The route isn't included in my Rockfax Northern England guide, but from memory it's a 22m MS, immediately to the right of "Blasphemy Wall". Both are very nice routes! 👍

Another great evening yesterday at Peel Crag below Hadrian's Wall, with enough breeze to keep the midge at bay! 😎 And two more leads, including my first mild-severe! UKC Logbook -> nr.mootparadox.com/ukc

Another glorious sunny day up at Bowden Doors with eight seconds, and two new leads... "Black Crack" (VDiff) and the classic 3* rated "Castle Crack" (HVD). 😎☀️

Back Bowden near Belford, this afternoon. This is "Original Route", a 14m VDiff... I was happy for those nice juggy holds near the top!! 😂

Penultimate route from Wednesday night at Crag Lough. Known as "West Corner", it's a 10m (S) to the ledge. For fans, do you see the face?! Gives a whole new meaning to climbing the west face! 🤣
