Good article Rob and like the belittling of Stanage

PS can't believe I have never been there. Looks amazing, if a little bit windy!!

Doh!! I knew I sold advertising for a reason, should stick to my strengths

Good to see you out in Ireland Misha, adds to the long list of other classic venues we seem to have bumped into each other at. Hope the CC Extreme Rock Meet goes well this weekend, I'm going to be down at the Cornish Climbing Festival - fingers crossed we both get some good weather!

I wish people would stop advertising this place- it's starting to get busy!

Yeah great to meet up with you and the rest of the crew, again! It's the same few dozen people going round all the great trad crags...

Might have to move the meet, not looking great for the Lakes but there's always hope...
