MEET REPORT.
The meet was attended by 11 club members (Mark, Brendan, Richard, Jamie, Roland, Jonathan C, Martin A, Matthew, Geraint, Jonny & Steve P.).
In spite of the forecast, the Rain God was merciful, although with the exception of a worryingly slippery ascent of Quayfoot Buttress by Brendan and Jamie, all the action took place on the drier Woden’s Face where every route except Woden’s Wotsit and Wodentops was climbed at least once. Although the rock was not wet, under-use during the pandemic plus recent rainfall reduced the rock’s friction. Whilst more than a few club members complained of rustiness, nevertheless it was a busy evening and a good time was had by all. Here’s to Shepherd’s next week! S.
