12th July - Hobson Moor Quarry

NEW ROUTE - So i agree to go to hobson Moor with Dan Fawley, However i have done all the routes i can at Hobson, so i set off on a new route, onsight, with no inspection. The route starts up 'Dragon's Route' then traverses rightwards at the break, to a reachy dropdown move at the end of the break, it then crosses the next wall, and finishes up 'The Harp'. I climbed the route first time. I called it 'What to do on a wet Sunday afternoon?' and gave it a grade of E1 5b, because although the crux is well protected, with a cam above your head, it is pumpy and reachy to get to there.

There is a photo of me on the crux, which will proberbly go in the forthcoming BMC Moorland Grit guidebook, but unfortunatly i cant publish that photo until the guide is out.
