A late run to Pontesford - Thurs 24th May


Damian on crux, oooh nice 

After a bum day at work, i headed off late to catch up with everyone for an evening on the rock at Pontesford.
Eventually rolled up arround 8.30pm with only an hour left of daylight. But it was just worth going to take a few pics and have a nice walk. 
Following the familiar clanking of hexes i picked them out on the Fifty Foot Wall, looked like they were just finishing Varsity Buttress VS 4b, I didn't expect to get a climb so snapped away for them.

Ay Dog, where yow bin, you wanna climb?.... yeah sure.... Deej & Len lower Daymo back down to the start an i tie on. Cheers Daymo.
Jesus! i thought this rock had been cleaned last year, with all the rain we have had, it didnt take long to grow back. Still loads of fun on a toppy to make the most of the route in 1 pitch. couple of little crux's with a nice finish. Accompanied by lots of swearing Andy and Matt have a go at East Climb S.

Ahh good to be back at Pont on evening, and Matt rescues a sheep, but thats the sort of thing he does.

Me on the pull round from the niche crux of Varsity Butress
