Another great weekend in the Peak District - this time we went for Upper Tor at Kinder first, before popping in to Stanage Popular for a quick one or two on the way home.
I led "Hiker's Crack" (S 4a *) on Upper Tor, which was a really nice route - after every couple of tricky moves, there was a convenient ledge to stand on while you get protection in. One of those climbs that makes you sweat and grimace, but I never felt in serious danger and got to the top with a big satisfied grin.
Lise led Pedestal Wall which was not so nice - it was technically easier, but it was much less satisfying.
We nipped into Stanage for a quick attack of Leaning Buttress Crack in a howling gale. This got tricky, and I found myself getting inadvertently wedged in behing the gap in the buttress. Fun route though.
The photos are all on Flickr, and on YouTube there are a couple of videos of Lisa and Kelsey seconding Right-Hand Trinity at Stanage, the last climb of the weekend.
