We decided Bamford was a bit too windy for our liking so after a quick shopping trip, we came down to Yarncliffe to check it out. Turns out its quite nice! Borrowed small nuts for this which come in very handy! Really nice climb, always good footholds and always smooth and in control! One of the better slab climbs I've done, especially as it has gear! Was chatting to Mike most of the way up on the adjacent route, all round good day and good banter!
