This is me boulderng above the white sands of armathwaite bay, cumbria.

Patty cruising the slopey traverse below wall of horrors at almscliff

One of many of the burbage south boulders, with the burbage north edge behind..

Laurie going through it, on the knock E5 6a...

Sigh of releive, finally topping out on the knock E5 6a

This is the sequence, to the awesome towering blunt arete of the Knock, E5 6a, disco leg galour occured throughout the process of doing this climb!! Wih the crux being at about 7 metres below the first bit of gear, there is no room for mistake.

Poor little jaz, at about 2ft finds it difficult to reach round the breaks of burbage south. But does it with great style and a big smile :)

This is a little jem of a problem, I had dreamt of things like this. It starts at this roof, wih some slopey holds on the edge of it, and then follows this line of slopey laybacks, involving sloper slapping and great bodey tension, mixed in with brilliant gritstone friction, an awesome typical sunset across the valley, and you have a receipy to the perfect end to a perfect day.

Blue sky's, white sands, pleasent bouldering and the sound of water gently washing by, where am I - Armathwaite, in the middle of cumbria.

This is me doing some pleasent, burbage south solo, on a cold windy day, nice..

This is me reaching round the roof to a slope pinch on a V5, at Burbage South, on remergence wall.

good composition on my hands on the slopey traverse

Patty trying the toe hooking technique on a slopey traverse below wall of horror's

This is me climbing the early moves on the great problem which is Picnic Sarcastic - Brilliant climbing ...

This is me pulling hard on the overhanging face of the Bowderstone - Picnic Sarcastic - The Bowderstone is really polished - and makes each problem a grade harder than it would have been originally... - still brilliant climbing.

This is Laurie sparking up after a long days climbing...

Me working the moves on a 7a+, before the final ascent.

This is me top roping some polished crimpy sharp limestone 7a+ at Malham - brilliant fun

This is Laurie playing with effects on his camara, trying to find artistic things to take photos of...

This is some crimp of a 7a+ with another hard to hold hold in the background, tiny sharp flakey thing - arhhhggg thats malham for u!!

This slopey traverse involved alot of heel hooks to maintain balance and alot of matching, it took me a while to do it, it was light when i started working it and dark when i did it, we were the last to leave the crag on a busy day...

Me latching this small slope pockety hold after a dynamic movement from a low sit start, Laurie managed to get the timing just right.

Dave working the moves of a 7a+ befor the final lead ascent..

This is me bouldering on the back of the calf, it was raining at the time and it was one of the only things that was dry and doable, very enjoyable traverse.

Laurie on green travers, being very smooth as he reaches out for the crimp just before the crux

Me after having shared on the small crimp, trying to retain energy for dropping of the heel hook (the crux)

This is me trying to keep balance on the left labybacking of Left Unconcerable after loosing the toss (right or left)

Laurie trusting, Grits reliable friction whilst cruising the slab

This is Laurie enjoying the layback of right unconcerable after winning the toss of which to do (right or left).

This is me just managing to stay on, on Flying buttress direct, just before i fell and hit the slab below. Excuse the bad photo - sh*t photographer Luke

This was me working a V6 at burbage on a typical grit evening

This is me climbing Millsom's Minion on stanage in the summer

This is Mark dynoing on the lone boulder....

This is me soloing crescent arete, another 3* classic gritstone route...

This is me pulling on some redicleous slopers on the superb friction of Grit stone.... This problem is around V4 and is 3 star...

This is me soloing an E2 6a in the Peak District called 'Not to be taken away' which is given 3 stars for its pure excellence
