The Works 

Hodge Close, industrial area

Dean pressing hard out right for one of the two crux moves on First Blood at M9 in the cave on the industrial area.

Great day on Sunday, two leads out on the industrial area from M4 to M6, warmed up nicely  ready for First Blood. Phil and Emma Powell joined us at around 11 am to start the day, quickly followed by Andy Turner and Matt.

We had a great day with Emma leading some routes on the right wall opposite Blood line (Petes corner)

Got some great tips from Andy Turner for Fig 4s and Nines, how and when to execute. The day finished with a bash on the new route in the left cave overhanging route at M9. Pete Holder took first accent previous week followed by Andy Turner on sat for the second accent. Andy had no trouble putting this one to bed, done in fine style.

Right wall up and out to the left.



Crack Quarry
Sunday 26th May

Headed over to Yorkshire on Sunday to meet up with Phil Powell. Arrived around 11am, brew chat and a go on Phils climbing gym in the garden then off to Crack Quarry.

Great setup and a perfect training system to get prepared on.

Off to Crack Quarry for some action, Phil took the lead and we followed out into the Yorshire countryside. Arrived at CQ, wow what a superb venue, over 60 routes already put up.

Dean On Krakatoa M6

New route set by myself, tedpod at M4

The venue here still has much more to give, loads of routes ready to have first accents on them from all grades.

Sunny side area

Great route with a crux move on the top. Two bolts on the overhang for runners to be placed.
