Our Physio James on his first 7B, Marks Roof at Gardoms Edge
Well the winter is well and truly over but what a great one it was! Both myself and our Nutritionist Ed managed to tick our first 7B's on gritstone. We also managed a fair few other climbs and thought we'd share our sends as well as let you know our projects for next winter.
Here's a list of the problems we ticked between us during the Winter of 18/19;
Crash 'n' Gurn - 7A - Burbage South
Highrishman - 7A+ - Burbage South
Breakfast - 7A - Burbage West
Marks Roof - 7B - Gardoms Edge
Hanging Prow - 7A+ -Burbage South Quarries
The Attitude Inspector - 7A - Burbage South Edge
Men in Small Cars - 7B - Rowtor Rocks
Blood Falls - 7A+ - Rowtor Rocks
Bus Stop Mantel - 7B - Rowtor Rocks
Early Doors - 7A+ - Curbar
Trackside - 7A - Curbar
A Fist Full of Beagles - 7A+ - Baslow Edge
Razor Roof - 6C - Cratcliffe
Egg Arete - 6B - Cratcliffe
Cubic Block Traverse - 7A - Brimham Rocks
The Pommel - 6C+ - Brimham Rocks
Zaff's Problem - 7B - Secret Garden
The Harder Side - 7A - Secret Garden
Stretch and Mantel - 6C - The Roaches
Monochrome - 7B - Burbage North
We had a great time working our way through these problems. A lot of cold evenings making use of our trusty floodlights but there's something nice about being out in the peak district on a chilly winters evening (well we think so anyway, most people would think we're mad!)
We're now into a bit of summer training as well as bouldering on the limestone and a bit of grit here and there.
A couple of climbs we've got our eye on for next winter include;
Famous Grouse - 7B+ - Burbage West
Deliverance - 7B+ - Stanage Plantation
Bass Monkeys - 7C - Stanage Plantation
The Terrace - 7C - Burbage North
Wish us luck!
Cheers,
James
