Brimham

April 30th, 2008 by Simon C

Typically, after glorious sunny weather for most of the day, the heavens opened at about 4 and it rained/hailed/thundered on and off for the following hour.  A few foolhardy souls (Simon, Carmen, David D, Peri, David K and Gordon) ventured forth regardless and were rewarded by a dry (though cold) evening climbing on remarkably non-slimy rock.

Routes climbed included Hawk Traverse (a rather fine 22m HS), Castle Corner (a nice though short-lived Diff), Turtle Rocks Chimney (VDiff, the exception to the 'non-slimy' generalisation), plus the old standards of Cracked Corner and Lovers Leap Chimney.

Ornithological note – there's an attempt at a nest on the first chockstone of Righthand Crack, constructed by an enterprising but foolhardy bird of unknown origin.
