Saturday dawned with clear blue skies and light breeze. Team members gathered at High Lodore Farm for the brief walk to the foot of the crag where they formed into complimentary pairs for the day. The morning weather was cool, but pleasant for climbing, the crag was mainlly dry with some seepage on some routes. By afternoon the warmth had built up and the even damp routes came into condition.Accross the day many classic routes were tackled including Thomas, Byanston, Trinity Slabs, Wall and Corner together with some of the less frequented routes such as The Leaf, The Sharks Fin and Under the plough.
All in all a excellent days climbing perfectly finished off with a swift half in the Newfield Inn on the way home.
Thanks to KMC members who joined me: Richard, Pete W, Stuart K, Tina, Cath S, Steve P, Cath P, Aileen, Ann S, Geriant and Johnny who contributed to another memorable day on the crag
Cheers
Mark
