f*****g fighting frightening frensis for fun

June 3rd, 2009 by rob s

Picking Guido at Skipwith bridge (A59) and heading for Brimham had only the usual number of 'events'. Changing a wheel in Knarasboro' car park added to them. Guido a little stiff after 2 days yomping in the Lakes took photos while I held the ropes on Peri's target for the night Frensis (steep well protected cracks followed by awkward mantelshelf VS 4c P1). Dave Shield arrived up and they wandered off to do some funky VS and boulder problems.

Meanwhile Peri had gone through a few dictionaries full of expletives in her fight with Frensis (she lost on points). I climbed Moloja, fine little VS to the top of Cannon rick and brought up Peri and Duschan, and Peri ab'd to strip the gear. Cubic block and Moss wall (another fine VS) beckoned whilst Dave and Guido set up a rope on Jokers Wall Arete E3 6a – Dave managing it (ish) – good effort.

Then midges – worse at Jokers wall area than anywhere else – drove us to the New Inn (no snide comments please) as it was dusk. Another top evening jaunt.
