Well after missing the YAC Tuesday night climbing sessions for the past few weeks another climbing friend suggested heading out on Wednesday night.
So there I was heading off to meet up with John Byrne and Pete Crosby, two non YAC people that quite a few club members know. The original plan had been to head for Brimham but the late afternoon weather check showed that rain was heading across the country from the West. So we decide to head for Scugdale on the North York Moors.
Well after a short slog up the hill ( just enough to get the blood flowing ) we started cautiously to boulder and solo various routes, as we relaxed and got the "feel" for the sandstone harder things were led, top roped, soloed and bouldered.
The wind died down and the Sun came out to give a glorious evening at the crag. For the last route of the evening we top roped The Prow E1 5A ( no gear ) tough little thing but a great route.
We all felt knackered by 8:45 so we headed for home.
Cant wait to go back again as Scugdale is a magic little place, you should all go there regularly.

I was at brimham, and there was not a drop of rain. Kate swanned up her first lead in 4 years! :-D.
Just goes to prove that you should never trust the weather forecast 100%.
