The evening climbing meets opened with the traditional visit to Wharncliffe Edge. The cold easterly wind had moderated and the weak sunshine made for good cool climbing conditions. Paul and me arrived early and headed for the Hell Gate Gully area where Paul led Hell Gate Crack (HS 4b). I followed up with a lead of Tower Face (S 4a) an old favourite with good open face climbing.

A short walk down the edge took us to Himmelswillen (VS 4c) another old favourite and a classic of the edge which Paul led.

Paul had pressing business in the evening so we finished off with an ascent of Trapeze (HS 4a). On the way down through the woods we met Christine arriving after work eager to climb and it was with some disappointment she accompanied us back to the cars.
