A beautiful late summer morning and me and Paul set out for the plantation area of Stanage. I started off by leading Wall End Slab (VS 5a) which has a hard start and steady climbing thereafter.

We moved over to Tower face a classic HVS 5a which Paul led. This climb has some scary climbing through a brittle flake to more solid rock but still with trying moves right to the top.
Another move on past the crowds on Paradise wall brought us to Namenlos (E1 5a) which gave Paul his first grit E point of the season after I failed to lead the tough initial crack. The fact that this was Paul's first E point of the season speaks volumes about the weather this summer.
We finished up on Dover's Wall where I led Route 4 (VS 4b).
