Steve's Youarsey Meeting Pages
|
23. October 1999, The Roaches
Half a dozen climbers from the uk.rec.climbing Internet newsgroup spent a rather damp day a-clankin' and a-crankin' at this popular Staffordshire gritstone crag.
Apologies for the lack of quality: the light was very poor, and many of the images have been compressed to save bandwidth.
There are more (and much better) pictures on Adrian Japp's web site Revision of 1/11/1999, with additional images from Adrian [AJ] | ![]() |

Getting some gear in...
