Some Pictures from Windgather Rocks, 29. October 2018

Edition of 2. November 2018 - one of Colin's and a selection of Roger's photos added (thanks for the CD!) and some of mine deleted, and a route corrected

A cold but (mainly) bright day at our friendly crag with Lesley, Maggie, Colin, JohnH and Roger


Photo from Colin...


Windgather Rocks - Small Wall area in the foreground, looking towards North Buttress


Photos from Roger...


Lesley belaying Colin on The Corner (Diff)


John belaying Steve on High Buttress Arete (Diff)


Steve topping out on High Buttress Arete - the very welcome thread for a sling was pointed out by Roger


Maggie, Steve, Lesley, JohnH, Colin (and Bobby's around somewhere) enjoying the afternoon sunshine


Colin setting off up Chockstone Chimney (Diff)?


Colin leading Chockstone Chimney


Colin almost at the top of Chockstone Chimney


Steve getting to grips with Mississippi Crack (S 4a) using John's gear...


...and getting round the awkward bulge (of the crag, that is), making it look hard


John seconding Mississippi

Maggie looking very relaxed, seconding Mississippi


Lesley following Colin on High Buttress Arete (Diff)...


...and again


...and some from me (Steve P)


Lesley seconding Zigzag (Diff) which I'd thought was Footprint (VDiff, but not much pro), since I arrived too late to watch the start (via Toenail, VDiff and also lacking in gear) and traverse; Roger is looking on. I later tied on and seconded Footprint, since the (top-)rope falls onto it. Thanks to JohnH for the correction!


Maggie on Wall Climb (HVD)

Thanks to all for a Grand Day Out!
