North Climb

A Pillar classic, led by Timmeh, Rachael & Louis. Will and Stu had bold run outs on North East Climb.

Left Gillerthwaite Field Centre 08:30. 

Low batts en route foiled an express ascent and pressure paradoxically increased with altitude.
Tim was so energised by Stomach Traverse that he let out a man roar and swarmed up the next chimney and over the 'washing machine' capstone with only a couple of low runners.

We topped out on Low Man at 20:30 after airy moves out on the nose and still had to scramble up High Man, ab into the gap and pick our way along the Shamrock Traverse in failing light.
Returned midnight after Adam & Sam picked us up on the fire road.
