I have been in the lakes over the half termasnd managed to get about a single hour of climbing at the bowderstone, I did a font 6B+ and a 6C+, which both felt really easy compared to climbs of the same grade on grit. I really like rhyolite as a climbing medium and hope to do alot more climbing on it.
I also walked up Scafell Pike (977m), which is england's highest mountain and saw Birkett's E9 test pieces. I also walked up Skiddaw (931m).

let it snow, let it snow, let it snow!!!
I have still not been able to get out much, although i did have a 'unusual' day 2 weeks ago.
I was intending to meet the usual suspects at Stanage Plantation as they were getting a lift. I get on the train, all OK, The guy that normally take my money got into an arguement with some gypsy about how much ti costed to get from god knows where to chesterfield. so that kept im ocupied whilst i walked off the train at hathersage. Another guy with a mat got off at the same time, we got talking an it turned out that he was going to plantation too. so i walked up with him. Oh and by the way the snow was at least 6 inches deep.
About 1 hour later i was at the plantation, after many phone calls with brandon which resulted in him telling me that he was going to the works because he reckoned it would be wet, from the melting snow. He was right and i left almost straight after i arrived.
Oh and on top of that i had to be back in Glossop by 6:30pm for my dad's birthday meal.
