Luke on top of the tricky and technical first pitch of Fishers Folly...
It was a glorious day in the Lakes yesterday; and was still pretty hot when Luke and I got the bottom of the climb at about 6pm. This was Luke's first VS lead attempt of the year and was a great performance coming back from his knee injury and not much climbing in the past month. He did climb down to work out how to get past the crux; before dispatching it in fine style.
My pitch (although also graded 4c) was probably easier although with decidedly less protection on it. It also proved to be quite tricky for me with my height as the move over the overlap is quite out of balance and arkward for the tall....although placing the gear was easier for the tall...as Luke will tell you when he tried to get it out!!!!! All in all a good evening...
