Sat 30 April 2011: Rivelin

Four of us went to lovely south-facing Rivelin in the Peak District on Saturday for some sunny and warm gritstone.  Highlights included Rodney's Dilemma, David's Chimney, Scarlett's Chimney (one nice jamming move after another!), and that silly route where you leap for two pockets and tiptoe up the slab.  Delphine and Frederic showed us that French climbers can climb cracks and place gear, not just quickdraws.

No photos, but Rivelin is here: http://www.ukclimbing.com/logbook/crag.php?id=86 in the UKC logbook.  Northwest of Sheffield, easy to get to; follow the A57 from the M1 and park by Rivelin Reservoir.
