Well, Spring is here... except it feels more like Summer! And we all know what Summer means. Long evenings, and after work climbing sessions, making the most of the last light. We chose to embrace the good weather with a quick hit of after work soloing at Stanage.
Arriving at the Popular carpark at 5.45 Stanage was already bathed in a golden glow. We only had maybe 45 minutes to an hour, so we ran up the hill and just started wherever it looked easy. All told between myself and James we probably climbed about a thirty or so routes including Crack and Corner, Mantlepiece Buttress Direct, Heather Wall, and Manchester Buttress.
There was also a bit of time for clowning around on the top of Chimp's Corner. Well it's all a bit of fun isn't it?
