Into Focus

Last weekend proved to be quite a landmark for me especially after over a year of scouring the Moors for the best it had to offer? everything seemed to come into focus after visiting Clemmitt's Crag and the boulders below, I now knew how to approach creating a bouldering guide to the North Yorkshire Moors and after Saturday's visit to Clemmitt's right-hand end of the crag it was proving to be a jewel of a place. This time joined by Mike, Jim then followed up behind by Aiden, Chris, Jo and last but not least, a very late Ram-Man who must have climbed into dark
Mike, James and Myself checked out the right-hand end

Back down to the Lower Crag Boulders for some unfinished business

Last but not least - Mike topped out on the ten move wonder 'Full Breakfast' grade to follow as the crux is at the top and the exit is tricky, it needs a better clean! very bold (sorry this photo does not do the problem justice, I put the camera down to spot!) Ram- Man video to follow soon......
