A fine but blustery Sunday found Me, Paul and Christine on a long delayed visit to the Roaches. We headed for Blushing Buttress to avoid the worst of the gusts and I kicked off by leading Right-Hand Route (S 4b) a good solid climb with laybacks and jams and an overhand to finish.

Paul and Christine followed and so that the right hand knew what the left hand was doing, Paul led Left-Hand Route. This was variously graded HVD 4a to HS 4b but after a layback start gives more delicate climbing to finish.
We moved to Calcutta Buttress where I led Calcutta Crack (S 4b) another good honest route on cracking jams.

We moved to The Great Slab area where Paul led Technical Slab (HS 4a) and fine climb with reachy moves and spaced protection.

To finish the day Paul and Christine did Aqua (VS 4b) on the Central Massif then it was off to the cafe for tea and cakes.
