Burbage North

Having both missed out on the Tuesday night meet at Burbage North Paul and me decided to take advantage of a sunny Sunday morning to rectify that omission.
We started off on the old favourite Mutiny Crack on Remergence Buttress which I led after some reminiscing about the problems that we could once do on that wall but which were beyond our failing powers now.
Paul then led Wollock and I led Pulcherrime on the adjacent buttress.

A short walk down the edge took us to another old favourite, Knights Move, which I led. This route is showing signs of much wear and tear which is a a testament to its popularity but doesn't seem to affect the climbing.
By this time dark clouds had appeared and a spitting of rain along with aching aged limbs was enough to send us scurrying off to the gear shops.
