Evening cragging at Millstone..

It was another hot day in the Peak District yesterday, although slightly cooler in the evening.

John Allen (pictured left), joined Pat and I for some climbing at Millstone Edge near Hathersage. This is sometimes a good choice in warm weather as you can often get some shade in the bays of this disused quarry.

Unfortunately for us, we decided to climb on perhaps some of the most sun baked sections of the crag, and unsurprisingly things felt a bit slippery.

There were lots of folk at the crag knocking out some classic route product, including one team who made a smooth ascent of 'London Wall' (E5).

It looks like it may be overcast for tomorrow, with finer weather on Sunday. Temperatures should be a little lower than of late which should make for much improved friction...
