A week in the Peaks

Green Traverse, Font 7a

A few weeks ago, when it seemed the summer holidays still stretched before me, 10 of us clambered into Jonny White's and Tom Bonnet's cars and set off for a week in the peaks!

Rubicon- 7a, just couldn't resit a bit of sport!
- would definitely recommend this rout!!

A few days in, we ended up in Stanage, however we soon realised, conditions weren't ideal - hot and humid, but we still stuck at it. Tash, Sarah and I ended up spending most of the day working Green traverse, 7a, a climb Sarah has been batterling with for some time. Sarah finally got it as the afternoon wore on. I ticked it too! Apparently unusually; I had to get a high heal hook using my flexibility at full stretch and a full left arm lock off.

Throughout the week I also manged to tick a few more 7a’s. I also got my first font 7b; Weed Killer at Raven Tor!

It was an amazing week, with some great people- a big thank you to Orrin for turning 18 :) !!
