Another hot day on the grit..

It has been another busy day for rock climbers and outdoor enthusiasts in the Peak District today.

Paul and Kieran were out again today on the Eastern Edges with members of the John Lewis Climbing and Mountain Sports Club. The team were ripping the crags down again, climbing everything in sight apparently.

I was inside at Rockcity Climbing Centre in Hull, doing some training for visiting staff. After leaving I did manage to get some soloing in at Burbage North in the blistering heat.

Unfortunately, the day was not without trouble. Edale Mountain Rescue Team attended a serious climbing accident in Horseshoe Quarry near Stoney Middleton, when a climber fell the height of the crag, while treading his rope through a bolt lower off.

For the first part of the week it looks like the warm weather is set to continue. It might be worth checking out some of the shady north facing venues such as the northern edges of Kinder Scout, Wimberry Rocks, Burbage South, and Staden Quarry to name a few...
