↡ Limestone Bouldering at Anston Stones ↡

At the tail-end of summer, Hannah and I spent two days at Anston Stones to try bouldering on limestone for the first time.

We found our way around several of the crag's classic lines - memorising beta from videos we'd seen the night before, and trying to make out the instructions from the locally made guidebook.

After eight years in Leeds, we've now moved down to the South East for a short break, so this marked our last outdoor session up North. Thankfully, it was successful. Hannah ticked Beta Blocker, her first 7a this year, and I ticked three nice lines.

Beretta 7a+ 2:45
Colt 7a 6:12
Apprentice Prow 8:02

I also announced the winner from last month's Pinch Block giveaway.

Congratulations Northern Sends / Ben Sends!
