Burbage North and Stanage Edge..

Nick and I have been out and about on the Eastern Edges today visiting both Burbage North and Stanage Edge.

The weather has been very good with a pleasant breeze keeping the midges away. We started off at Burbage North with some bouldering and a few technique fundamentals before moving to Stanage Edge to climb some longer routes.

The crag was busy with plenty of climbers including a French team enjoying a bit of a tussle on 'Tippler Direct' (E3 6a). This tough local test piece seems to be getting a hammering at the moment. Last week a German climbing pair were working the route.

Some rain is forecast this evening but tomorrow looks like another promising day on the Derbyshire crags...
