Well at last I have the chance to goto the Roaches this Sunday with someone off the british version of yourclimbing.com
So hopefully the weather will stay beautiful(it has forecast sun,sun,sun hot too) & i will try to take as many great photos of the venue as possible(allready one of "sloth" in my profile) for all you guys.
Gritstone a very unusual rock to climb on until you get used to the friction you can generate loved by Lisa Rands may even try some of the boulder problems their though alot lower grade than what she does.
And hopefully if its not too crowded i could be climbing "Valkryre" one of the all time classics in england my partner is up for it im climbing well at the moment so we will see how things go think i will save sloth for another day though.
Everybody enjoy your weekend and enjoy your climbing Simon

Thanks unfortunatly my day did not go as far as planned.Lets just say the english site is nowhere near as good as yourclimbing.com
Arrived lovely and early at 8am my partner was ment to come at 10 didnt arrive till nearly 1pm as he set off late and got stuck in heavy traffic which is expected when leaving london on a drive to the north of the country and hitting a couple of big cities on route.
And he was not as good as he said so Valkryre lives another day did one really good route though of a similar grade so may go back to lead it if i can find a reliable partner.
Oh and it was freezing
