Best Climbing Experience
Bank Holiday in the Peaks where I lead almost nothing but HVS. Notable highlights were Great North Road, Toady's Wall and Valkyrie. Then I just got over excited and had a go at 3 Pebble Slab .. but had to be rescued. So near and yet so far.

You can be a father and still go climbing. You just need an understanding wife a large family tent and an Estate car.
