And another fantastic day climbing Botterill’s Slab on Scafell, then back down via Broad Stand and a quick detour to Taylorgill Force waterfall.

Couple of great days out on Scafell recently with Charlie; little bit of scrambling with an ascent of Broad Stand and then back over Scafell Pike, Broad Crag, Ill Crag and Great End.

Fantastic hill walking session with Paul on Skiddaw today, albeit very windy (60mph gusts) and very limited visibility – but still lots of fun! #LakeDistrict #Cumbria

@cocomosey @MarkSavagePhoto I was quite amused checking the grades of some of the routes we climbed between @The_NMC and @rockfax
MVS 5a = E1 5b
VS 5a = E1 5b
E1 5c = E2 5c
VS 4c = HVS 5b
E1 5c = Not in Rockfax guidebook (Presumably just too hard?!)
HVS 5a = HVS 5a (The only route of the same grade we did)

Hot and sunny conditions at Callerhues yesterday for some trad climbing and bouldering with Russell.

@cocomosey @MarkSavagePhoto Russ had the (mis)fortune of leading that... But I thought it was great - the gear right next to you but your foot is a bit stuck in the crack which makes it a bit more exciting!
Callerhues was brilliant, you had inspired me to go up there – I hadn’t been in a couple of years.

Beautiful albeit very windy evening for some climbing at East Woodburn Crag tonight.

Great to make the most of the sunshine for some #climbing in #Northumberland before the rain arrives this weekend.

@Dave_H_King @TyneSnapper @mari_stewart1 @Peter_Little55 @GeorgeStoker @malongoman @MRA_99 Yeah that is correct, Devil's Water next to Swallowship Hill and Swallowship Wood, it is a fantastic woodland.
