Sunshine and Showers at Stanage Edge..
Mark and I were out at Stanage Edge today. Again it was the obvious choice for a 1:1 day of private instruction/guiding.We started at the popular end and made rapid progress along the edge picking varied routes along the way. This allowed us to look at some specific gritstone techniques such as smearing "on nothing" along with the dark art of hand jamming.
There was also time to do some rope work, belay construction and gear placement before finishing for the day. We were just about to pack up when somebody took a nasty ground fall nearby. We wish the climber involved a quick recovery.
While helping this injured climber we lost a 30m half rope in the 'Heaven Crack' area, if you happened to pick it up it would be great if you could get in touch via james@jamesthacker.co.uk

My daughter was climbing in this area yesterday and told me about the accident. I was hoping to find out if the person who fell was OK. If you hear anything, will you post it? Thanks.
