Sunday 29 April - Sergeant Crag Slabs

Lakeland Crags Man - HVS 5a *** - Sergeant Crag Slabs. With Tony Shepheard and William Ripley.

Stunning day in the Lakes today. After the OB conference we descided to go cragging. The slabs were quite busy, but suprisingly all there were locals. Dad lead this great route first and it was joy to follow. nice flowing climbing good gear.

A brilliant route. My first E2 lead last year, Tony lead with style. I htink I went slightly off route when i did it. I found the route much harder than i remember, due to sore toes. A quite bold feeling route with a suprising amount of gear.

Terminator 2 - HVS 5a *** - Sergeant Crag Slabs. With Tony Shepheard and William Ripley.

I'll be back.... maybe not! A great route, and like most at the crag low in the grade. Nice flowing climbing lots of gear good friction on the rock. A stunning end to an afternoons cragging.
