This is me doing some pleasent, burbage south solo, on a cold windy day, nice..

Laurie going through it, on the knock E5 6a...

This is me boulderng above the white sands of armathwaite bay, cumbria.

This is me reaching round the roof to a slope pinch on a V5, at Burbage South, on remergence wall.

Blue sky's, white sands, pleasent bouldering and the sound of water gently washing by, where am I - Armathwaite, in the middle of cumbria.

This is a little jem of a problem, I had dreamt of things like this. It starts at this roof, wih some slopey holds on the edge of it, and then follows this line of slopey laybacks, involving sloper slapping and great bodey tension, mixed in with brilliant gritstone friction, an awesome typical sunset across the valley, and you have a receipy to the perfect end to a perfect day.

Poor little jaz, at about 2ft finds it difficult to reach round the breaks of burbage south. But does it with great style and a big smile :)

This is the sequence, to the awesome towering blunt arete of the Knock, E5 6a, disco leg galour occured throughout the process of doing this climb!! Wih the crux being at about 7 metres below the first bit of gear, there is no room for mistake.

Sigh of releive, finally topping out on the knock E5 6a

One of many of the burbage south boulders, with the burbage north edge behind..

good composition on my hands on the slopey traverse

This is me pulling hard on the overhanging face of the Bowderstone - Picnic Sarcastic - The Bowderstone is really polished - and makes each problem a grade harder than it would have been originally... - still brilliant climbing.

This is me climbing the early moves on the great problem which is Picnic Sarcastic - Brilliant climbing ...

This is Laurie sparking up after a long days climbing...

This is me bouldering on the back of the calf, it was raining at the time and it was one of the only things that was dry and doable, very enjoyable traverse.

Dave working the moves of a 7a+ befor the final lead ascent..

Me latching this small slope pockety hold after a dynamic movement from a low sit start, Laurie managed to get the timing just right.

This slopey traverse involved alot of heel hooks to maintain balance and alot of matching, it took me a while to do it, it was light when i started working it and dark when i did it, we were the last to leave the crag on a busy day...

This is some crimp of a 7a+ with another hard to hold hold in the background, tiny sharp flakey thing - arhhhggg thats malham for u!!

This is Laurie playing with effects on his camara, trying to find artistic things to take photos of...

This is me top roping some polished crimpy sharp limestone 7a+ at Malham - brilliant fun

Me working the moves on a 7a+, before the final ascent.

This is me climbing Millsom's Minion on stanage in the summer
