An excursion to the far reaches of Giggleswick South brought the party to a sector that none of us had tackled before. Previously known as Bramble Buttress, few stars (*) adorn these walls with good reason although Tomertil (6b*) is possibly worth the trek. In addition, six of us tackled a number of under-graded routes No Wavering (5c*); Rawhide (5c*); Bonanza (5b*) and Two for One (5c*). Head-torches would have been a good idea for the return to the Talbot.

Following a day of drizzle, four of us spent a couple of hours gingerly working our way up damp rock in the evening sunshine. Dabbing foot and handholds in chalk, we managed Three Slab Route (MS**), Flake Climb (S***) and Long Chimney (D***) Andy pictured at the finger-jam. I have to admit that despite their grades, the conditions help to focus the mind and enhance the enjoyment of precision footwork!
The Cow & Calf offered a quality guest ale but can only muster (4pt*).

Despite a somewhat windy evening, six devotees accomplished a fine collection of routes including, Zig-Zag (S), Flake Climb (S*), Flower Power (VS**), Sundowner (VS**), Wrinkle Slab Direct (VS**), Ginger (VD*) and some epic on the Legover Groove Area. All topped out at The Talbot (***)
