A sunny forecast and a break in festive get togethers coincided, so Jake and I made a dash for a quick fix at Stanage. 

Lots of parapenters, boulderers and walkers, plus a few brave souls with ropes. 

After a “warm up” on Pot Black, Jake decided to throw himself at Calvery – an E4 with a bit of a reputation. 

He made very smooth work of it, just pausing briefly to re-tie his shoelaces beneath the cruz.

Whilst dad belayed anxiously wrapped up in a lot of down!

Definitely earned a hot chocolate and cake  🙂
