Description

Shadowing an outdoor session with John Rocks. We had 4 young climbers with us today. John set up a TR and belayed two up, then I climbed it (with gear bag and waking boots on!) to enable me to belay the last two climbers up.
Good to see another TR set up on this climb, and to deal with the usual stuff with young climbers - helmet / harness / shoe fitting etc.

Area : Yorkshire Grit

Mostly those crags north of Leeds and the M62 in the Yorkshire Dales, but also the crags in the vicinity of Harrogate and Wetherby. The grit cracks in South Yorkshire close to the Peak District are covered in the Peak District Region, as are those just north of the Peak but south of the M62. Protect the Rock – let this be your mantra. John Dunne and Lucy Creamer cut their teeth here. Tradition is respected but cams and mats come in useful.
