John Lewis Climbing Weekend..

Rob Jarvis and myself have been out climbing with John Lewis Venture club over the weekend.

On Saturday we visited Birchen Edge, climbing routes along most of the crag. Including classics such as 'Trafalgar Wall' (S) and the fantastic 'Crows Nest' (VS).

Following this, we visited a further two crags on Sunday, with the team ticking through the routes at a fast pace! We warmed up at Harborough Rock's climbing all of the routes on the 'Trident Buttress', before moving to Willersley for some bigger pitches. Here the team really showed their confidence with ascents of 'Cucumber Crack' (HVS), 'Cucumber Groove' (VS), 'Adamant' (HVS), and 'White Wall Corner' (HVS).

The weather was fairly good on both days, although it has been windy at the more exposed venues. The forecast looks fairly promising into next week..
