Attermire report

A good days climbing was had at Attermire by the 7 of us. John, Phil and I started on The Gangway and we were then joined by Jo, Shirley and Dave and later John W. After The Gangway I then headed off with Jo to get slightly battered by the wind on Ginger and even more so on Zig Zag. We then decided we could either have sunshine or shelter but not both and the latter won the day so we returned for some shelter and lunch on the middle tier of the main wall.

I then took on layback which John W had told me was a good route (mmmm), After the first well protected crack fatigue took over and that combined with the rockfax  route image been slightly wrong led to some colourful language and an unnecessary traverse but eventually the route was done and Jo and John followed me up. In between all this various ascents were made by everyone else including Striction, Census, Broken Chimney and Freeby.

All in all a reet grand day out.
