Sometimes you just have to be there The result of a fall off an overhang at Jack Rock and an example of why the belayer should always tie in to something, even at the bottom. Particularly when the route overhangs the river.One of my favourite shots!#Climbing #Northumberland #Comedy #Daft

Another view from Wolf Crag #Northumberland on Wednesday afternoon. The descent route at this end of the crag is down an enclosed gully that's capped by this boulder. We racked-up and left the rest of our gear at the top; seemed easier! It's a small crag, and this lichenous rock is indicative, but there are some nice routes, albeit rather short ones. #Climbing #TradClimbing #Photography

We were lucky with the Sunday afternoon weather at Kyloe Crag. Four leads, including three on-sights, one of them a VS... which for me is good! Seconded a couple more, including a repeat of an E1, and still thought it was nuts!! #Climbing #TradClimbing #Northumberland

A couple more from Peel Crag #Northumberland last night. A chilly but fun evening of #Climbing and trying out a second-hand camera... a Sony ZV-E10 with a 20mm Viltrox f2.8 prime. Happy with it so far, and I think it's going to better than using my GoPro as a camera. #Photography #TradClimbing

The weather stayed (somewhat!!) like this! Peel Crag, #Northumberland . #TradClimbing #Climbing

Added a couple of routes to my East Woodburn repertoire last night including a Hard Severe up Green Slab Arete... a tricky start, but reasonable protection and becomes easier. #Northumberland #TradClimbing #Climbing #Photography

Deception Crack, a classic 2* Hard Severe at Kyloe Out. Great conditions last night, and breezy enough to keep the midge at bay until almost 9pm. For #Northumberland sandbag aficionados, let me recommend Fakir's Slab. VDiff?!! They must be mad!! Fun route, afterwards, but approach it as you would a poorly protected and slopey Severe. #Climbing #RockClimbing #TradClimbing

Very pleasant afternoon and evening at Crag Lough, with a brief jaunt up Sunset at Peel Crag on the way back to the car park... it had to be done! And midge-free, surprisingly!! My first time leading Hadrian's Buttress too; a classic 3-star Severe towards the end of Crag Lough. Great route! 🧗 #Northumberland #Climbing #TradClimbing
