Chilly blue sky's and grippy grit.

Grippy grit it was, superb afternoon on Windgather rocks today. Headed out to Windgather on the Cheshire Derbyshire border just above the little village of Kettleshulme.

Arriving at the gate everywhere looked fairly quiet, couple of cars and the odd walker. Met a couple climbing who had been on the crag all day coming over from Wales.

We started off with a nice warm up climb, nothing to difficult. So warmed up we headed for mini multi pitch. Great route at the grade of Diff, decided to give John some experience at multi pitch routes. So I split the route in two with a hanging belay halfway up.

John loved the route and took the second pitch by storm. Then setting up a super belay from the top, he then belayed me up.

So, next lead is John's.


Setting off up a nice enclosed bookcase, classic. Super little sting in the tale at the top with a bit of a twist and giggle to exit.


John just about to move out right to exit.



So what a fantastic day on the crag. Fancy a day like this yourself, if so contact me on
