Shipley clean up.


No i wasn't picking litter but it was nice weather and was keen to get out so nipped out with Jo the intention been to tick loads and get my solo head on again. I started on the right hand end on a 3c called  Easy route. Well... i didn't think so.

Scoop Direct a superb wall climb on chips
I climbed 3 routes that were particularly worthy of mention.
1. Scoop direct really satisfying up some chips in the face, really nice wall climbing!
2. Fearnought. a no star amazing route it climbs so well this is the most underrated route i've known. brilliant!

3.Kia Ora Wall, lovely holds, moves and nice and high.

This area has some brilliant high stuff that i'd like to come back for, the problem is it clearly doesn't get climbed on much so not sure how great it will be in Winter. Good to be out on 'new stuff' in Yorkshire.

This was also the last trip the Mauritius took before it went to the car graveyard on Dick Lane in Bradford. Car less at the moment fingers crossed i get transport again soon.
