Mill Wheel Wall Will Fall

Hope the above is true as I sit here the day before having tea at work thinking about the task ahead. Can't wait to get out to Burbage South tomorrow with Dean, got the text, wat u on tomoz, nothin planned. Sweet, ow do u fancy mill wheel wall, eye, went the reply.

06:45, bleep bleep goes the alarm. Looking misty and wet out through the bedroom window. Up and down to put coffee on, dean arrives and we have breakfast. We're heading off down the road to Burbage South Quarry.


Back at Millwheel Wall for the second time this week, target Millwheel Wall E1 5b.



Tools for the job.


Deans having a quick look at Zeus E2 5b, wish list target.


Dean makes a start on MWW E1 5b

Great to get started early as the weather soon came in, rain wind you name it. We took the decision to top rope as when we arrived it was damp and very un tactile. So a top rope was in order, nothing lost as it was a great climb and felt really tenuous even on TR. As soon as it drys out we will be back to lead it. Dean took first shot at it without any trouble. I soon got on and finished on top well pleased, just need to lead it now.

Couple of good things came out of the day, we also checked out what gear we would need, see pic below, not a lot.





Never be put off by the weather, this was a 3 star morning out, wouldn't have missed it.
