Climbing
Swanage Cliffs
On a warm day its an amazing place to go. Here Sarah
(one of the Venture Scouts)
is top roping a 40ft VS.
Chris starting the climb into the cave 'benny', here a life jacket
is as important as a helmet.
Cairngorm Dec98
100 metres up on the central gully, Coire an t-sneachda, Cairngorm, Scotland. Photo by Andy Johnstone.
Derbyshire
This is Nigel on his first lead climb (climbing above the rope).
It was only graded a 'servere', but the mirrored limestone makes it
seem much worse.
Local Sandstone
Most of our climbing is done on local sandstone, here I'm on
a climb Bowles rocks. The layback is harder
than it looks, but who cares when you are on a top rope.
The lake
James (not me) on scramble in the lakes. Unfortunatly the
'scrabble' turned into an impossible climb that we finished
with the aid of head torches at 1:30am.
Scotland Trek
There is nothing quite like snow (young or old), this photo was taking
just before a solo grade 1 winter climb in the cairngorms
winter 2000. It was part of a 4 day trek.
