With the end of the trip approaching, Ieuan and I met up with Adam again and we headed to the north facing Widdop; hoping to catch some respite from the glorious sun in order to climb some more grit.
We made our way from the left end of the crag across to the right hand side to the striking arete of Reservoir Dogs, with enjoyable ascents of Ordinary Route, Krypton Route and Celebrity Buttress. All was going well until I had to get a top rope lowered and down climb Artificial Route, which seemed exceedingly awkward, bold and gripping in the warm temperatures!
We finished the day with some pleasant bouldering before heading back to the train station and back up to Edinburgh for me. Another great venue and a good end to the trip. A week of cycling and mountain biking as some last minute training before heading off to the Alps on the 11th. Summer psyche is definitely very high!
