We chose to visit Stanage Edge to put yesterday's skills in to practice.<br /><br />Pete and John led a number of routes with a top rope back up, and also climbed a number of others independently. This demonstrating their sound grasp of belay and runner placement.<br /><br />Unfortunately, another climber was injured falling from 'Martello Buttress' (VS) not far from us. He was evacuated with the help of <a href="http://www.edalemountainrescue.co.uk">Edale Mountain Rescue Team (EMRT)</a> and the Air Ambulance. We hope he makes a swift recovery.James Thackerhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/00326695868706416974noreply@blogger.com
