South Lakes Crushing




Today we arranged a trip out to the south lakes, weather wasn't looking too great as we left, even got a splatter of rain on the way there.
Started off by going to Warton Crags only ever been here to look in the rain and couldn't remember much to be honest.
As we walked in we managed to take the wrong turning straight away so went miles away, when we finally found the crags we wern't the best impressed.
Did some easy stuff on the Pinnacle section, with all of us managing to flash the pretty fierce 6C - Beastmaster.
Headed down to the Plum Buttress and realised we needed some beta to do anything of a reasonable standard.

We sacked it to Woodwell where the true crushing began!!

After warming up on some nice asy stuff at Tom's Buttress started to work the harder problems.
Sun was out and it was 2 o'clock so was pretty warm so conditions wern't ideal.
But never the less we carried on, over the whole day i managed to rack up a nice tick list:

Warton
Muscles Crack - V0
The Monkeys Paw - V0
Beastmaster - V4 (6C)
The Graunch - V1 (5+)
Un-named - V3 (6a+)

Woodwell
Nothing To Say - V2 (6a)
Subliminal - V1 (5+)
Nothing To Say Dyno - V7 (7a+) Third go
Whats This For... - V5 (6c+)
Sanctified - V4 (6b+)
Closer - V5 (6c+)
Sanctified Stronger - V7 (7a+)

All in all a great day leaving with 2 6c+'s and 2 7a+'s in a session!!

WELL PSYCHED!!!




Me on Sanctified Strong - 7a+
