Tilberthwaite

Its been ages since I have added a post on here. Basically my life was taken over by coursework and exams and I did nothing other than that.

Anyway once I got that out of the way I headed back to the Lakedistrict to try and find a job and get a bit of climbing done. The weather wasn't super kind to me but I managed to get out a couple of times, twice to Badger Rock where I have got a couple of on going projects, and got beaten by midges.

And once to Tilberthwaite Quarry. My first slate experience, and the conclusion..... its ok. I guess we weren't in the best climbing mood at the time but we got a couple of things done, had a go at a E2 which was basically two boulder problems with easy climbing in between. The E2 grade is extremely dubious since it was semi bolted. Tried a couple of other things and got attacked by midges some more. In fact the midges won again with at least 50 bites on one arm!

Dave did a rather scary E1 and I dangled off a rope photographing the experience:



Bring on California!
