We have been treated to some glorious conditions this week. Grey clouds and damp days have blown over, leaving crisp blue skies and glowing sunsets. I've set my sights on many new projects at Brimham this winter, but first on the list was a long-standing project from earlier this year. Black Chipper Arete is short but punchy, and it turns out that colder conditions really help you stick to the arete, as does a left heel clamp.
