Back to Trad

The weather this weekend was not overly conducive to climbing, but I think on reflection we climbed every minute we could have this weekend without actually doing too much in the rain. The wet stuff took longer to clear on Saturday than we thought, but we were at Shepherds crag in Borrowdale as it stopped raining. Consequently it was all a bit damp and lunchtime had long been and gone, but we got two multi-pitch routes in - Finale (HVS) and Ardus (MVS), before dark arrived.

On Sunday the rain was coming in in the afternoon, but we were out on the local Brantrake crag ticking virtually all the worthwhile routes on it before the rain came. Nice to be out on rock again, and along with the cycling, its making it more bearable to be not running.
