With over 100 routes on an ancient outcrop protruding from a long sloping field nearly 250m above sea level, (according to one mans watch) the views and atmosphere are one to experience rather than explain.
On escaping the buzz and chaos of a bustling town centre, the oasis just minutes away contrasts dramatically against the artificial structures that loom above the streets and pedestrians.
On arriving slightly later than anticipated we still got alot done and made the most of what was on offer.
With all but maybe 8 routes in use there was a great deal out our fingertips and Harry had planned a few treats for us. Some 5a's and a couple of 5b's, a fairly good challenge it must be said.
As with most sports there are always going to be countless opportunities to make friends and share a bit of banter, today was no exception; it seems everyone is always in high spirits, i guess from the satisfaction of conquering the epic sandstone cliffs in such a beautiful location.
Sharing information, tips and tools is a the great aspect of a sport where experience counts for alot.
as was mentioned knowledge is the greatest gift, and photos are second best.
.....so here they are.....
